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.

Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Parenting can be both the most meaningful and most challenging thing you do in life. Especially when you have parents with differing ideas about how to raise children. Even if you are on the same page, parenting challenges can bringing up strong emotions and self-doubt. You might get triggered by your own unresolved issues from childhood with your own parents. How do you support a child’s needs while caring for your own? How do you support a neurodivergent child? There is no single “right” way to parent and if you have more than one child you will quickly find out that one size doesn't fit all. Therapy will help you think more clearly about your relationships with your child(ren) and partner (if applicable), build confidence, and develop practical strategies that align with your values. Self awareness as well as information on different personality types can help you respond thoughtfully rather than reactively in everyday family life.

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified 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.

Gemma Autumn
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Adult and Adolescent Counsellor Cert, PgDip, MBACP Accredited
As a trained child and adolescent therapist, my work has often involved working with parents on issues relating to their own parenting. This often not only covers the relationship they have with their children but also reflecting on their own experience of what it was like to be parented when they were a child. Having children can often trigger thoughts, feelings and behaviour we have carried over from our own childhoods.
