Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
Parenting problems need wisdom to resolve not just techniques. Super Nanny I am not. But a wise father I am. Parenting needs to be armed with information and training to deal with situations used to come from the elders who were treated as wise and respected as such whereas nowadays the knowledge gained form the internet does not teach application only gives knowledge and this is where we need to work more to help assimilate the knowledge and using what we now know fo the mind brain interface and child development we are more informed and can with help become better parents and teachers and leaders to children and adolescents.

Liz Frings
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Diploma Person-Centred Psychotherapy. EMDR Accredited
Therapy helps you step back and examine your approach to parenting with curiosity rather than judgment. Many of us parent on autopilot, unconsciously repeating patterns from our own childhood—sometimes helpful ones, sometimes not. A therapist can help you identify which patterns serve you and your family well, and which ones you might want to change.
You might discover that certain behaviors in your children trigger disproportionate reactions because they remind you of your own childhood experiences or unresolved issues. Understanding these triggers allows you to respond to your children more thoughtfully rather than reacting from old wounds. This self-awareness is transformative, breaking cycles that may have continued for generations.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
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.

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

Aberdeen's identity is defined by its role as the centre of the North Sea oil and gas industry — a boom-and-bust economy that has created recurring cycles of prosperity and anxiety, and where therapists frequently address the occupational and psychological effects of energy sector uncertainty, offshore work stress, and the identity challenges of an industry in energy transition. The city has two major universities — the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University — generating significant student mental health demand and clinical training programmes that feed into the local therapy community. NHS Grampian provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community. Aberdeen's geographical isolation in the northeast of Scotland, combined with the psychological effects of long, dark winters, means seasonal affective disorder and mood management are recurring clinical priorities.
