Parent Consulations

As I am additionally qualified as a child and adolescent psychotherapist, I have extensive experience in supporting parents who are struggling in their relationship with their child.

The pain and frustration of not being able to have the relationship we wish for can be very challenging. This support is less about short term ‘quick fix’ parenting strategies, but more about exploring how our relationships with our children can be coloured by our own experiences of having been parented as a child.

​When we can work through and process these experiences, we can make different choices in how we parent our children. This can lead to deeper, longer lasting change and a richer, more fulfilling parent-child relationship.

I am trained as a Mentalization Based Family Treatment Practitioner and so can offer work for you as a family. This model is short term (6-12 sessions) and was developed by the Anna Freud Centre. It involves a mix of discussions and games to help a family to better understand each other and communicate.
