Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting parents focuses on creating a collaborative, non-judgmental space to explore the joys and challenges of raising children. I help parents understand the dynamics within their family, identify patterns that may contribute to stress or conflict, and develop practical strategies to strengthen communication and connection. Using evidence-informed approaches, including behavioural guidance, emotional regulation techniques, and problem-solving skills, I support parents in building confidence, fostering healthy relationships, and promoting positive development for their children. My goal is to empower parents to navigate challenges with clarity, patience, and resilience while nurturing a supportive and balanced family environment.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Effective parenting begins with our own internal stability. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and trauma, I help parents move beyond traditional discipline strategies to focus on the heart of the matter: forming a secure attachment with their children.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore how your own history and 'inner child' may be triggered by your children's behavior. By healing those internal wounds, you can show up with more patience, clarity, and presence. My goal is to support you in breaking old cycles and building a relational foundation that allows both you and your child to feel safe, seen, and truly connected.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients experiencing parenting challenges, I help them explore the emotional and relational dynamics at play — both within the parent–child relationship and within themselves. Together, we look beneath the surface of behavior to understand what’s really being communicated, fostering greater empathy, patience, and self-awareness. My approach emphasizes strengthening connection, setting healthy boundaries, and developing practical strategies that align with the family’s values. Ultimately, the goal is to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and attuned — creating a home environment where both they and their children can thrive.
