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.

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.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
Being a dad can bring pressures that few people talk about. Balancing work, family, and your own well-being can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose sight of yourself in the process. I offer a space to sort through the stress, expectations, and emotions that come with fatherhood, without judgment. 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
