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.

Hi, I’m Uri Bookman — a relationship therapist, coach, and registered counsellor (PACFA 30041). Parenting can be one of life’s most rewarding roles, yet also one of the most overwhelming.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I have vast experience listening to many, many peoples parenting stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of the common parenting problems and issues, and how they can impact you and your children when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your parenting to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Adam Kreuzer
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Diploma of Counselling, Professional Certificate of Adolescent Counselling
Parenting can be challenging. It's not always the exciting, positive and happy experience that is portrayed in the movies. The birth of a child can be a deeply traumatic and stressful experience for many parents and these feelings can continue throughout the life of a parent. I provide safe, therapeutic support to parents as they work through their issues, problems or challenges related to parenting. Together, we come up with action plans to regain healthy control and build more effective relationships with your 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.
