Parent and Family Counselling
MOUNT COLAH | HORNSBY | ONLINE
Families can care deeply about each other and still become stuck in patterns that leave everyone feeling misunderstood or disconnected. I support parents and families to understand each other, find ways of connecting and reducing conflict.
Parenting Challenges and Big Emotions
You may be navigating big emotions, meltdowns, challenging behaviour, or simply the everyday demands of parenting. What’s often missing isn’t more discipline, but a real understanding of what’s happening beneath your child’s behaviour, and yours.
Grief, Loss and Life Transitions
Separation, divorce, death, illness, or major change can shake the foundations of family life. Every member of the family may be grieving in their own way. I offer support to help families move through grief and transitions together, with more understanding and less friction.
When conflict becomes the pattern rather than the exception, it can leave everyone feeling unheard. We look at what is happening beneath the arguments, or the silence, so family members can feel more understood.
Recurring Conflict and Communication Breakdown
Blended and Step-Family Dynamics
Bringing two families together brings real joy and real complexity: new roles, competing loyalties, and relationships that need time to find their shape. I offer a space to work through the tensions that come with blending a family.
Supporting a Family Member’s Mental Health, Diagnosis or Neurodivergence
Whether it’s a child, a teenager, an adult sibling, or a parent, one family member’s mental health struggles, new diagnosis, or neurodivergence affects the whole family. I offer a person-centred, low-demand approach that respects everyone’s pace.
How Your Own Childhood May Be Impacting You
Maybe you notice yourself reacting in ways that feel bigger than the moment, or repeating patterns from your own childhood that you promised yourself you wouldn’t repeat. Together we explore how your past experiences may be shaping your responses today.
