The best advice ‘be well within self’ and your children will thrive. Therapy can offer expert guidance and psychological support to clients confronting diverse parenting challenges. This is provided within a compassionate and non-judgmental space, allowing individuals to delve into the intricacies of their roles as parents. Employing evidence-based techniques (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, the psychologist aids parents in navigating a wide array of issues, spanning from child behavior and discipline to effective family communication. Whether the challenges revolve around child development, implementing effective discipline, or nurturing healthy parent-child relationships, the psychologist is dedicated to assisting clients in their journey towards achieving success and fulfillment in their roles as parents.

Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
One of the roles that requires the most skill, we are often not trained to be parents until starting to think about having a family, and then it is often just focused on the giving birth process. We then see parents who may be reluctant to ask for support until their situation feels desperate and their children are demanding, clingy or displaying other challenging behaviours that prompt help-seeking. Our therapists provide supportive guidance to parents using a range of treatment modalities that include attachment-focused therapy and practical environmental analysis and change implementation.

Ruth Schmidt Neven Phd
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Parenting is always a joint process. For this reason I urge both parents to attend as they are the key people in the lives of their children. When both parents are involved they become a parenting team and can be helped over a shorter period of time to address problems that may arise for their children.

Jumping Hurdles Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, Master of Counselling
Parenting is not easy. Having the skills and knowledge to enable children to grow up making the correct choices and become responsibility is the answer to being a good parent. Parenting assists parents to focus on planning so that things go right- it enables tem to become a rereflective listener, enables them to be soloution foccused and not a rescurer. Importantly it gives them the skills not to be a dectective to their children but a support person their young can rely on.
