Prue Keenan
Counsellor/Therapist, Graduate Diploma of Holistic Counselling
As a single parent to two boys, I have sought a lot of guidance over the years to learn better ways to parent, and therefore support myself to navigate the everyday parenting challenges. I have tools to share for relating to our kids better, communicating and understanding our needs (and triggers!!), and overall, building our relationships that really helps through hard times. I love sharing these with parents - we learn a lot from one another.

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.

Jade at We Tackle Trauma
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, QTS, BSc (Hons), MAASW
Hello, I am a child development, behaviour, education, and regulatory specialist; ready to support you in your parenting journey. I offer 20-years of professional experience; as a nanny, youth worker, teacher (in child development, health and mental health, behavioural and disability education), youth-sector project manager, health and mental health sector leader.
I have provided child wellbeing and care advice at the highest level. That includes advising Australian and British government on child wellbeing, development, health and mental health. As a multiply qualified professional, my parenting advice integrates best practice from Social Work, Teaching, and Sociology; enabling me to provide advice and support that considers all aspects of your child’s wellbeing and your relationship dynamic. I work with an intersectional lens to understand your unique life journey and your child’s/ren’s personal needs and life lens; I therefore tailor support according to family learning and processing styles. This includes being able to provide specialist support related to disability, behaviour, neurodiversity, and families experiencing marginalisation, trauma, or other isolation.
I offer out-of-hours appointments, enabling you to access support at the weekends or whenever you require. I proudly work with all family types, just make contact to arrange a free consultation chat.

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
As a wife, mother and daughter, I resonate with the joys and challenges of parenting.
I tried so hard to be a good mum that eventually I lost my way a little and made child-rearing like a mission to accomplish rather than a journey to be savoured and experienced.
This awareness led me to seek support and put the oxygen-mask on as they say.
Now my parenting experience has completely shifted, it is a lot more relaxed, satisfying and fun - and my children and husband feel it too.
My mission is to nurture and support other women who are mothers or are planning to be mothers to foster and engage in safe, respectful and loving relationships first within themselves and in turn their children and their family.
I also support mothers who have recently become empty-nesters and grappling with a sense of loss of identity and purpose.
