About First Session
What is parenting therapy?

Parenting therapy provides support for the unique challenges that come with raising children. A therapist can help you explore your parenting style, work through difficulties with your child's behaviour, manage stress, improve communication within your family, and develop strategies that align with your values. It's a space to reflect on your experiences without judgment.

How can therapy help with parenting challenges?

Therapy can support parents in many ways—from managing stress and overwhelm to improving relationships with children and partners. Many parents find therapy helpful for understanding their child's needs, working through their own childhood experiences, and building confidence in their parenting approach. A therapist can offer perspective and practical tools tailored to your family's situation.

What happens in a parenting therapy session?

Sessions typically involve discussing what's happening in your family life and exploring the challenges you're facing. Your therapist may offer insights, ask reflective questions, and help you develop new approaches. Some therapists incorporate specific frameworks or techniques, while others take a more conversational approach. Watching intro videos can help you understand a therapist's style before booking.

Is parenting therapy right for me?

Parenting therapy may be helpful if you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with specific challenges, or simply want support as you navigate family life.
