Therapeutic services for parents
Support is always tailored. This isn't a menu to choose from, but a conversation about what fits. Here's a sense of the approaches I draw on and how they might help.
Parent consultation
Parent consultations offer a supportive, reflective space for you, separate from any work happening with your child.
These sessions focus on making sense of what might be happening beneath behaviour, exploring family dynamics, and thinking together about practical and relational responses that feel manageable and attuned. The emphasis is on understanding, not advice-giving or blame.
Many parents find that feeling truly listened to and supported makes a meaningful difference to how they're able to respond to their child. These sessions can be offered as stand-alone support or alongside ongoing therapeutic work.
You might consider parent consultations if:
-
You feel worried, stuck or unsure how best to support your child
-
Behaviour feels challenging or confusing
-
You want to better understand what your child may be communicating
-
You need space to reflect without judgement
-
You want support alongside or instead of therapy for your child.
Sessions can take place in person or online.
Filal therapy for parents
Filial therapy puts you at the centre of the therapeutic process. Rather than simply watching from the sidelines, you become the agent of change within your relationship with your child.
With guidance and support, parents learn to create their own regular special playtimes with their child, using the same attentive, child-led approach used in the playroom.
Over time, this deepens connection, builds emotional understanding and creates lasting relational change within the family.
