You may choose to attend parenting counselling alone, with your partner, or with your child, in order to effectively work through the issues facing your family. We can work alongside you, to better understand your child or teenager and their developmental stage, and identify strategies to support you in this challenging role as a parent.

Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
One of the roles that requires the most skill, we are often not trained to be parents until starting to think about having a family, and then it is often just focused on the giving birth process. We then see parents who may be reluctant to ask for support until their situation feels desperate and their children are demanding, clingy or displaying other challenging behaviours that prompt help-seeking. Our therapists provide supportive guidance to parents using a range of treatment modalities that include attachment-focused therapy and practical environmental analysis and change implementation.

Ruth Schmidt Neven Phd
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Parenting is always a joint process. For this reason I urge both parents to attend as they are the key people in the lives of their children. When both parents are involved they become a parenting team and can be helped over a shorter period of time to address problems that may arise for their children.

Movement with Steph
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh
Whether you're a first-time parent or a tenth-time parent there will always be more to learn and more challenges to overcome. Oftentimes, parents can be triggered by their children and be unaware of it. Sometimes this can be due to the way they were parented and/or unresolved issues they may have with their own parents. I work collaboratively with clients to help them explore their parenting style and work through unresolved issues they may have with their own parents.
