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.

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.

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.

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.

Neil Coburn Relationship Therapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, BA (Hons), MA (Tavi Rels), MBACP (Accred)
Parenting is often a part of my work with couples and individuals too. I help people to think about their challenges, what could be different and how, and what are the underlying reasons for the issues.

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.
