Parenting & Caregiver Support
Parenting can be joyful, messy, tender, and overwhelming—sometimes all in the same day. It isn’t about having all the answers, but about showing up with curiosity, flexibility, and care—for your child and for yourself. Parenting support offers a space to pause, reflect, and explore what’s happening, without judgment or pressure to “fix” things.
​How Parenting Support Can Help
​
You might be:
​
-
Feeling overwhelmed by your child’s emotions
-
Unsure how to support a neurodivergent child
-
Navigating school challenges, diagnoses, or family changes
-
Carrying guilt, grief, or exhaustion
​
Whether you’re co-parenting, solo parenting, or navigating blended family dynamics, support can help you find steadiness and collaboration in the midst of complexity. Parenting support is about walking alongside you—exploring what’s working, what’s hard, and what might help.

​What the Process Involves
​
Sessions are shaped around your family’s needs. They may include space to reflect, understanding behaviour through a relational lens, and gentle strategies to try at home. Sometimes, simply having someone sit with you in the complexity—without rushing to fix it—can make all the difference.​
