PARENT COUNSELLING (Support for Parents & Caregivers)
Parent counselling offers a warm, supportive space to help you navigate the challenges, emotions, and responsibilities that come with raising children.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to support your child, or simply needing a place to breathe and reflect, you don’t have to do this alone.
At Insieme Counselling, parenting support is gentle, non-judgmental, and tailored to your family’s needs.
What Is Parent Counselling?
Parent counselling is a one-on-one space where you can talk through:
your child’s behaviour or emotions
your concerns as a parent
your parenting style and what’s working or not
conflicts at home
communication challenges
school-related stress
family transitions (divorce, blending families, migration, adolescence)
It is a space for you, not just your child.
Your feelings matter — and how you feel influences how you show up as a parent.
Common Reasons Parents Seek Counselling
Many parents come to counselling for support around:
feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or exhausted
supporting a child with anxiety or emotional difficulties
navigating adolescence
parenting stress and burnout
keeping boundaries without feeling “mean”
co-parenting challenges
cultural differences in parenting styles
helping a child through transitions (school changes, friendship issues, family changes)
wanting to improve connection and communication
You do not have to wait until things become “serious.”
If parenting feels heavy, confusing, or isolating, counselling can help.
My Approach With Parents
I support parents using:
emotionally attuned, person-centred therapy
CBT tools for unhelpful patterns, thoughts, and guilt
attachment-informed strategies to support secure relationships
gentle boundary-setting guidance
exploration of intergenerational patterns and parent wounds
trauma-informed and culturally sensitive support
This is not about “fixing” you or judging your parenting.
It’s about giving you space to feel grounded, connected, and supported again.
Parent Counselling for Teenagers & Younger Children
You know your child best — but sometimes understanding their emotions, behaviours, or developmental stage can feel confusing.
Counselling can help you:
respond instead of react
understand what your child is trying to communicate
support emotional regulation
navigate school issues
recognise when your child may need their own counselling
improve the parent–child connection
When parents feel supported, children often thrive.
Co-Parenting Support
Co-parenting can be challenging, especially after separation.
Counselling can help you:
create healthier communication
set boundaries
reduce conflict
focus on the child’s needs
manage emotional triggers
stay grounded during difficult conversations
You don’t have to do this alone.
