Parents/Guardians

Parents/Guardians may feel worried or overwhelmed when they feel disconnected and distant from their children/charges. They can feel at a loss at what to do and powerless at how to help.

Drawing on my experience as a child & adolescent psychotherapist I offer help to enable the parents to make sense of their children’s feelings and behaviour. These meetings are offered periodically throughout the therapy as it is important to understand the family context within the whole process.

Alternatively, I am happy to meet only with the parents to support them in supporting their child/adolescent and regaining some trust and confidence in their role, feeling more hopeful about their ability to manage crisis and changes that come up. Ultimately, feel better connected with their child/charge.
