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.
