Parenting Advice

Being a parent does not come with a manual and we often wonder if we are getting it right.

Sometimes we don't feel able to speak to other parents or our family, for fear of being judged, or simply because we don't feel able to.

As a parent, I have personally navigated the various stages of raising children, facing challenges, making mistakes, experiencing worries, and ultimately gaining valuable insight through these experiences.

Professionally, I have worked directly with children as a counsellor, enabling me to understand their perspectives and advocate effectively for their needs.

In my role counselling within a school setting, I have supported many families and developed a deep understanding of issues such as exam stress, sibling relationships, separation and divorce, hormonal changes, blended families, family dynamics, connection-seeking behaviour, and Emotional Based School Avoidance, among others.

I am able to offer practical strategies and guidance to parents who are navigating complex or challenging situations with their children and teenagers.
