Parenting Counselling (Online Across Australia)
Support for parents navigating stress, overwhelm, and everyday challenges — in English or Italian.
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally complex. Many parents find themselves juggling work, household responsibilities, cultural expectations, and their children’s needs — often without any space to pause and care for themselves. Parenting counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and develop strategies that support both you and your family.
As a bilingual counsellor (English–Italian), I provide warm, culturally sensitive support for parents across Australia who want to feel more confident, grounded, and connected in their parenting role.
How Parenting Counselling Can Support You
Parents seek counselling for many different reasons. You may be:
feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally drained
struggling with your child’s anxiety, behaviour, or emotional needs
navigating co-parenting or blended family dynamics
feeling guilty, unsure, or constantly “not good enough”
managing cultural expectations or generational differences
supporting children through transitions (school, adolescence, migration)
trying to balance parenting with work, relationships, and self-care
wanting healthier communication and connection within your family
Counselling provides space to understand what you’re experiencing, explore helpful strategies, and reconnect with your strengths as a parent. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone — support is available.
My Approach to Parenting Counselling
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-informed frameworks. Together, we focus on:
Understanding your child’s emotions and behaviours
Many parenting challenges are connected to stress, developmental changes, or emotional overwhelm — both for children and adults. We explore what’s happening beneath the surface and develop practical tools to respond with confidence.
Strengthening emotional regulation and resilience
When parents feel regulated and supported, children feel safer too. We work on strategies that help you stay grounded during stressful moments.
Improving communication and connection
We explore ways to build stronger, calmer, and more respectful interactions within your family — especially during conflict or big emotions.
Reducing guilt and pressure
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual. Counselling helps you let go of unrealistic expectations and create a style of parenting that works for your family.
I draw from approaches such as:
Emotion-focused parenting strategies
Attachment-based frameworks
Person-Centred and compassionate communication models
Mindfulness and self-regulation tools
Trauma-informed principles
These are adapted to your family’s needs, culture, values, and stage of life.
Culturally Attuned Parenting Support — in English or Italian
Parenting between cultures can be uniquely challenging. You may be navigating different beliefs, traditions, or expectations around discipline, emotional expression, independence, or family roles.
As a bilingual counsellor familiar with both Australian and Italian culture, I support parents who:
are raising bilingual or bicultural children
feel caught between different parenting styles
experience generational or cultural conflict
want to honour their heritage while adapting to life in Australia
In sessions, you are welcome to speak in English, Italian, or a natural mix of both. Counselling becomes a space where your full cultural identity is understood and respected.
Online Parenting Counselling That Fits Your Family’s Life
All sessions are offered online via secure telehealth, making support accessible no matter where you live in Australia. Many parents find that online counselling allows them to:
attend sessions from home
schedule around work, school, and family life
feel more comfortable and open in their own environment
avoid travel time and childcare arrangements
Online parenting counselling is effective, flexible, and tailored to your needs and routine.
What to Expect in Parenting Counselling
Your first session
We explore what’s currently happening in your family, what feels challenging, and what you hope to change or improve. This session is gentle and collaborative — no pressure, no judgement.
Ongoing sessions
We look deeper at patterns, stress points, emotional triggers, and family dynamics. Together, we build practical strategies that help you communicate more calmly, respond rather than react, and create a home environment that feels supportive and connected.
