Parenting
Well on the Way
Therapist, Reichian Therapy (Character Analysis & Bodywork), Ecotherpay, Family Constellations, Touch for Health Kinesioogy, Natural Healing, Accredited facilitator of the Work that Reconnects
Well, no one said it would be easy. Or did they? If so, they were wrong (or on autopilot). Its joys are limitless. Its challenges are both great and infinitely various. Sometimes the issues are about couples clarifying differing parenting styles in order to support each other and their children. Sometimes the chid or children present particular difficulties. Sometimes the burden falls on a single parent: what a shame that it is a burden. Where can support come from? Sometimes schools and other statutory services can offer obstacles rather than assistance….
I also offer Family Constellations.
I was a youth and community worker, as well as being a parent, and have worked with families with autistic children and those on the Asperger’s spectrum.
Ask, and we’ll see if I can help. If not, I will find someone who can.

Ashley Horsley
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MA, Post MA Dip, BACP Accred
A mother needs to be only good enough, said the brilliant Winnicott many years ago. We, as parents, will never be perfect. But we need only to be good enough. I can help you learn how to be the best version of yourself with your kids which includes really understanding what children in general, and your child in particular, need and needs. And what you need too which sometimes, if not often, gets forgotten in this dynamic.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and every child is different. When communication breaks down, emotions run high, or family dynamics become challenging, it's easy to question whether you're doing enough or getting it right.
My approach helps parents move beyond simply managing behaviors to understanding what those behaviors may be communicating. Together, we'll strengthen communication, build emotional safety, navigate conflict with greater confidence, and develop practical tools that support both your child's growth and your own. When parents better understand themselves, they are often better able to understand and connect with their children.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults navigating the emotional and psychological demands of parenting, including those parenting alone or alongside other significant pressures. Parenting often brings long-standing patterns into sharper focus, affecting identity, relationships, boundaries, and how people respond under stress.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how parenting experiences interact with internal expectations, responsibilities, and emotional load. Rather than focusing on parenting techniques, sessions centre on understanding how you are impacted by the role and how different parts of you respond to it. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Irene Valis
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA certified Gestalt therapist, Counsellor, Life Coach
As a wife, mother and daughter, I resonate with the joys and challenges of parenting.
I tried so hard to be a good mum that eventually I lost my way a little and made child-rearing like a mission to accomplish rather than a journey to be savoured and experienced.
This awareness led me to seek support and put the oxygen-mask on as they say.
Now my parenting experience has completely shifted, it is a lot more relaxed, satisfying and fun - and my children and husband feel it too.
My mission is to nurture and support other women who are mothers or are planning to be mothers to foster and engage in safe, respectful and loving relationships first within themselves and in turn their children and their family.
I also support mothers who have recently become empty-nesters and grappling with a sense of loss of identity and purpose.

You don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own—I’m here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of yourself as both a man and a parent

Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Parenting is the most difficult job in the world. (And step-parenting even more difficult than this.) Most parents know that there is no one right way to parent, but there are many wrong ways! If parenting is challenging for you, you are not alone. Without judgement, we will explore how to parent more effectively and, if you are carrying feelings and behaviours from your own childhood that are interfering with your good enough parenting, we will identify and resolve these.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
Working with teens & their families has given me extensive experience in supporting parents. This has included providing information & knowledge on how best to support their parenting. Every parent does the best they can & the guidance I provide is centered around how parents they can adapt & improve their parenting rather than blaming or criticizing. Its important that parents feel comfortable to work with me in a collaborative way otherwise their is no room for change so I focus on building a relationship with parents where they feel safe and comfortable to share experiences and work with me. No parent is perfect & usually working in improving parenting is about learning how best to support your kids & their individual, & collective, needs.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Therapy helps you step back and examine your approach to parenting with curiosity rather than judgment. Many of us parent on autopilot, unconsciously repeating patterns from our own childhood—sometimes helpful ones, sometimes not. A therapist can help you identify which patterns serve you and your family well, and which ones you might want to change.
You might discover that certain behaviors in your children trigger disproportionate reactions because they remind you of your own childhood experiences or unresolved issues. Understanding these triggers allows you to respond to your children more thoughtfully rather than reacting from old wounds. This self-awareness is transformative, breaking cycles that may have continued for generations.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city center. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community.
