Melissa MacNeill
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, Certified EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT Therapist, MACP
Our children don't come into our lives with an instruction manual, and with so many opinions it can be difficult to know how to best respond to their needs and difficulties. I work to help parents become more accessible, responsive, and engaged with their children. The better we're able to consistently respond to our children, the more safe and secure they'll feel to venture out into, and explore, the wonders of the world around them. I'll help you to better understand the interactions that are taking place between you and your child. I'll work with you as a process consultant to help you experience what it's like to engage in a new way. This process can be transformational for the relationship and the family as a whole.
The relationship between children and their parents doesn't end at adulthood. The transition to adulthood can be confusing, scary, and difficult for parents and children. We never out-grow our need to feel safe, loved, and accepted by our family. I use Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to assist parents and adult children struggling with these important relationships.

Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
As a registered family therapist, I see the parent, parents or caregivers as key to successful therapy for families. Parents are the most important figures in a child or adolescent's life. As you may know it is a very difficult task being a parent, and mistakes happen. Getting support and working with a family therapist who is experienced and qualified is critical to addressing issues in the family that are stuck in problematic patterns of reactivity. Emotionally our strongest attachments are with parents as children, and this adds to the intensity or activation. Humans cannot solve problems when they are activated because we are in a threatened state - anxiety. Seeking a helpful family therapist can help.

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

Janine Sakai
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CCC
Parenting can be many things but one thing it's not, is easy! You love your kids but some days you just don't want to be around them and that's okay! They challenge you in ways you never thought possible. I've witnessed many family situations and parenting struggles in my career. My approach is supportive but at times direct. You're here because nothing seems to work and are looking for something that does. I appreciate a parent who is willing to learn new ways of doing things that might seem counterintuitive at times. We'll focus on the things that are working and change the things that aren't!

Kristina Snaith
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Parenting can be difficult because there's no perfect approach. Speaking with a therapist can help you regulate your emotions so you have more to give to your children. It can help to have a neutral space to give suggestions for working on both yourself and your children.
