Many aspects of our identity and things that have happened in our life impact on our mental health. Developing an understanding about how your background and experiences influence who you are can guide you to make changes in your life, for both you and your family. Together we can work out what it is about parenting that is triggering for you and find more helpful ways of managing your mental health that allows you to respond to your child in ways that fosters and strengthens your bond.
Experiences relating to trauma, gender, culture, race, class, sexuality are a few examples of factors that influence who we are. It can be difficult to pick apart these complex aspects of life, so we work to help you make sense of and unpick these complexities, supporting you to build confidence in your parenting, strengthen your relationship with your child and build a meaningful life for you and your family.
We can support you through specific parenting challenges, including difficulties with behaviour, emotions, toileting, sleep, feeding, and attachment. Our guidance is rooted in the child development literature on social, emotional, and brain development. We aim to help you support your child to thrive in the context of their developmental needs and individual personalities.
