Parenting therapists in Port Alberni, British Columbia BC, Canada CA
Meredith Mpinga
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
As a mum of five kids, I get it. I get how hard it is to be the parent you hoped to be, when your kids are struggling and the work is piling up and the time is short. Often parenting can bring up struggles from our past, default ways of relating which we don't want our kids to experience. As we face our own pain, we're able to heal both for our own sake and the sake of our kids.
They're worth it, and you're worth it.
I also get how hard it is to prioritise your own healing. That's why sessions are available both in-person (to get away from the stressors at home and work) and online (to access therapy in the small window of time you have available).

Suzan Erritzoe, Being One Counselling & Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, Transpersonal Counsellor DK
Parenting brings up everything unintegrated, un-dealt with in our selves will easily bring up a lot from our own childhood, and to be in the vulnerability of that, at the same time as caring for a child, depending on us, calls for gentleness and the release of the need to perform according to outer ideals and ideas. As parents, we more than anywhere else, need to okay with being imperfect, and to learn how to see, and meet with another being intimately in the midst of that.
Children read us all the time, and if what we say don't match how we "walk the talk" they get confused - more than being and doing the right thing, our children need us to be authentic and honest, so they can know us and see us. To be a role model, doesn't mean to do the right thing all the time, but to not use power where we feel lack, and instead allow them to see your humanness
