PARENTING SUPPORT

Therapy for mothers

Stirling • Adelaide Hills

Helping you navigate your child’s behaviour and emotions so you can feel confident in your parenting.

You know your child better than anyone else. You see them in a way no one else can. Right now, you see them struggling, and you know they need some extra help. Maybe you feel like you need extra support too. You’re looking for the right therapist, who will understand that your child isn’t bad or broken. They’re just having a hard time managing their emotions or their behaviour amongst the everyday challenges of being a kid.

This might be an issue that’s suddenly appeared, or it might be something your family has been dealing with for a long time. You want a therapist who understands just how hard it’s been. You want someone who will help you make sense of what’s going on for your child, so that the people around them can understand them better, and life can be easier moving forward.

MY APPROACH

Hi, I’m Mel

I’m a therapist specialising in working with women and mothers. Through our work together, I’ll help you make sense of the meaning behind your child’s behaviour and what can help them through their current struggles, so you can get back watching your child grow and thrive.

Children have complex lives, and we can’t expect mothers to know everything about how to help their child through every challenge along the way. Mothers say they feel reassured and empowered by my approach, and go away from sessions feeling more confident about understanding what’s going on for their child, and the path towards making things better.

How it works

  • Step One

    Check my availability here. When my books are open, this will take you to a form to fill out so I can contact you and offer an appointment time. When my books are closed, this button will take you to up-to-date information about my availability, so you will know when I am likely to have appointment spaces available next.

  • Step Two

    At our first session, you can get to know my style, and together we’ll explore where you are in your life right now and what you would like to be different. You might feel comfortable straight away to talk about some of the very difficult issues in your life, or it might take a few sessions before you feel safe to go there. You are in charge of what you say and when.

  • Step Three

    If you find my approach is a good fit with what you need, we’ll book in a series of sessions. Some people prefer weekly therapy for a short intensive burst. Others choose fortnightly or monthly sessions for a longer period. For others, an occasional check-in is what suits best. We can figure out what’s right for you.
