Family/Parent Counselling
Having worked with eating disorders and other forms of self-harming destructive behaviour for over a decade, I have full appreciation for the turmoil and emotional trauma these conditions can inflict on family members.
Family/parent counselling
Supporting You in supporting your child
As parents you may feel angry, helpless, disappointed, or as though you have failed your child. At the same time I counselled and provided therapeutic support to young people facing adjustment problems because of divorce, a change in schools, academic and career choices. Through parental counselling, I can help you make sense of what is happening, I can support you in supporting your child.
Parental counselling will assist you in:
- Clarifying your values and defining your own philosophy of parenting
- Addressing your own individual needs and frustrations as a parent and helping you make positive changes to improve your parenting skills and your life as a whole
- Addressing the effect of stress and anxiety on your family life and help you find the best ways of resolving it
- Becoming mindful and aware of your child’s experiences and needs in order to maintain a strong connection with your child
- Avoiding unnecessary conflict at home as a result of an eating disorder or any form of destructive/harmful behaviour or any issue crippling your relationship with your child.
- Developing conflict resolution strategies
- Learning positive communication
- Remaining hopeful at all times in order to facilitate healthy growth and change
