Parent & Carer supports

The parent-child connection is the most powerful
mental health intervention known to humanity"
- Bessel Van Der Kolk

Parenting can be the most rewarding journey we can embark on. These little humans come into our lives and can be our greatest teachers in self-discovery, mirroring back to us all the parts of ourselves that were denied or kept hidden.

 

We all want to raise kind, compassionate children who can reach their full potential. When we see them struggle in life we can sometimes feel powerless to help, bringing with it a sense of overwhelm and worry.

If it fits for your family, getting some extra support at the right time can make all the difference in reconnecting to your child and supporting them to return to a place of joy and calm.

Our parent support services focus on playful parenting approaches to managing challenging behaviours, avoiding power struggles, reducing tantrums, increasing parental capacity to support big feelings, increasing co-regulation and emotional intelligence and strengthening overall child parent relationships for happier more playful homes.

SHORT TERM SUPPORT

When is it suitable?

Unsure of how best to support your child?

Unsure about committing to longer term therapeutic supports or still on long waiting lists for services without any interim support?

 

A parent consultation can be an effective support piece for you and your family during uncertainty. It can act as a bridge between services or help support your decision-making process.

 

For some, the insights gleaned and practical approaches provided can be enough in themselves to affect positive changes, without the commitment of longer-term therapeutic supports.
