I offer individual consultations, as well as specific packages to meet your family's individual needs.

Counselling and Parent Coaching

While parenting is one of the most rewarding jobs, it can also be one of the most challenging. Understanding a child’s developmental level, as well as age appropriate expectations for their age, gives us a better understanding of their needs and how we can better support them. This understanding can also help us to look at some of those challenging situations from the child’s point of view.

​

My goal in supporting families is to educate them on their child’s current developmental  strengths and challenges, as well as age appropriate expectations that may come with this.  I support families with strategies that build on the parent-child relationship and create that connection that allows us to reframe the child’s behaviours and support them from this new perspective.  I offer several types of counselling  and parent coaching services to best support you as a parent, as well as your family and child.

​

​

Children can often struggle through new transitions and/or events that have a significant impact on their lives.  Our role as parents is to understand this transition from the child’s developmental perspective, which allows us to provide them with the support and information that can help them move through the transition with comfort and support. I’ve listed some of the areas that I can support you and your child through below :

​

• Family changes such as new sibling or a move

• Dealing with separation and divorce

• Anxiety and depression

• Nightmares and sleep problems

• Academic issues

• Adjustment difficulties

• Behaviour challenges

• Difficulties with self-regulation

• Autism and/or developmental challenges

 

Parent coaching

​

Many of the new tasks a child learns can also be the most challenging. Toilet training, getting your child into a sleep routine, positive parenting techniques versus discipline, are just a few of the areas I can help you with. Understanding a child’s developmental level and age typical expectations can help support your child and family to see situations differently and respond in a positive way that can support you both.  I can meet with your family to find out more about your family goals and struggles and how best support you and your children with strategies and suggestions that are rooted in a positive parenting philosophy.
