Step 1: Understanding Your Situation

In our first session together, I will take the time to truly listen to you, exploring the challenges you’re facing as a parent, any concerns you have about your relationship with your child or children, and any struggles within your partnership related to parenting. We’ll also discuss your life more broadly—your relationships, work, and what you hope to achieve through counselling. This initial conversation helps me tailor our sessions to best support your unique needs and circumstances.

Step 2: Gaining Insight

As we continue, I’ll help you delve into the reasons behind your current challenges. Together, we’ll explore why things may not have improved, despite your efforts and help you understand the deeper patterns at play. My goal is to provide you with clarity on why you’re feeling stuck and to help you to start building a foundation for positive change in your family relationship.

Step 3: Learning New Strategies

Once we’ve gained some insight, I’ll introduce you to practical strategies that can help you overcome the challenges you’re facing as a parent. We’ll work together to deepen your understanding of your children’s needs, exploring ways to meet those needs more effectively and equipping you with the tools and confidence you need to navigate parenting with greater ease.

Step 4: Focusing on Your Needs

Finally, we’ll shift the focus to you. Parenting can be incredibly demanding, and it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs in the process. I’ll help you identify what you need for your own well-being and support you in finding ways to meet those needs. By prioritising your own peace, contentment, and satisfaction, you’ll be better positioned to thrive—not just as a parent, but in all areas of your life.
