Counselling for Parents

Parent and Women’s Counselling at The Kids Counsellor 

Parenting a child with additional needs is one of the most incredible, life-changing journeys you can walk.

It’s also one of the hardest.

​

At The Kids Counsellor, I offer counselling support for mothers and caregivers who are navigating the joys, challenges, and emotions that come with raising a neuro-divergent or medically complex child. Whether you're just starting the journey after a new diagnosis or you've been walking this path for a while, you deserve a space that's just for you too.

​

What Our Sessions Look Like

Counselling here doesn’t have to look like sitting stiffly across from someone under bright lights.
It can look like:

• A gentle walk and talk outside in nature

• A relaxed chat over a cup of coffee

• Therapeutic art activities that let you process emotions without having to find all the right words

• Quiet talk therapy sessions where you can simply be heard and held without judgement

• 1:1 yoga or meditation sessions designed to help you regulate your nervous system, reconnect to yourself, and breathe again

The goal is to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and truly fits you — because when you are cared for, your whole family benefits.

​

Support for Every Part of the Journey

Parent and women's counselling with me is about:

• Processing new diagnoses and what they mean for your child—and for you

• Learning regulation strategies for yourself and your child

• Gaining knowledge and training about your child's needs, behaviours, and neuro-divergence in a way that makes sense and feels empowering

• Grieving, celebrating, and adjusting to what your new version of life looks like

• Coping strategies for when carer's burnout hits.

• Finding ways to fill your own cup, because you are not just a caregiver—you are still a person with dreams, emotions, needs, and your own story

​

A Space Just for You

Sometimes you need a place where it’s okay to say,
"This is hard."
"I'm overwhelmed."
"I'm proud of them but I'm tired too."

I get it—because I’ve lived it.
And I know that when mothers and caregivers are supported, the ripple effect touches every part of the family.

​

Here, I hold space for all of it— the pride, the exhaustion, the love, the fear, the hope.
We work on helping you find calm inside the chaos, reconnect to your own needs, and rebuild your inner resources so you can keep showing up not just for your child, but for yourself too.

​

Flexible, Heart-Centred Counselling

• In-person sessions (therapy room, walking session or a space you'd like to meet)

• Online sessions (for when life gets busy or you just need support from home)

• Flexible session types (talk, walk, art, yoga, mindfulness)

Every session is tailored to what you need most at that moment—whether that's a deep conversation, a strategy session, emotional release, or simply some time to breathe and be.

Because here, your needs matter too.
