Who I work with
Susanne Gerstmyer | Counselling for Parents
MOUNT COLAH | HORNSBY | NORTHERN SYDNEY | ONLINE
Parenting is one of the most meaningful jobs you’ll ever do, and one of the hardest.
I support parents to manage overwhelm, reduce anxiety, build stronger relationships with their kids and feel more like themselves again.
If you’re feeling stuck, stretched too thin, or unsure of the next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I support parents who are…
1. Carrying anxiety or low mood
You feel overwhelmed, constantly on edge, or weighed down by worry, and it’s impacting your daily life and relationships.
5. Whose child has big emotions or difficult behaviour
You’re feeling exhausted managing meltdowns, challenging behaviour, or constant power struggles.
2. Parents of children in therapy
You want to better understand what your child is going through and how to support them in ways that are consistent, calm and helpful.
6. Exhausted with nothing left to give
You’re running on empty and struggling to keep up with everything - mentally, emotionally and physically.
3. Navigating a new diagnosis
You’re adjusting to new information, uncertainty and change, and want support to move forward with confidence.
7. Becoming someone they don’t want to be
You’ve lost touch with yourself somewhere along the way and want to feel more like you again.
4. Going through separation or family breakdown
You’re managing a major life change and want support for yourself and your children.
8. Who want to understand their child better
You want to deepen your connection, respond with confidence and raise a strong, resilient child.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Whether you need clarity, support or a new way forward, I’m here to help.
