WORK WITH ME

There are a number of ways that we can work together to help you be a more confident, competent and happy parent.

Below is a list of the services I offer and what you will experience in each one.

Counselling for New Parents

The transition to motherhood is one of the most profound life changes women experience. Your whole sense of self, your identity, your sense of competence, your sense of control, your priorities, your relationships… all change. Overnight.

Most moms experience a wide range of feelings, both positive and negative which can seem overwhelming. If you are a new mom (newborn to age 1) when we coach together we will explore all the issues and concerns you have and find ways to help you feel good about yourself in your new role, and yourself as a person. We will also focus on the best and easiest ways to meet your baby’s changing needs.

Counselling for Parents of Young Children (age 1-5)

Toddlers and preschoolers are delightful and remarkable. In a few short years they develop mobility, language, creativity and imagination, their curiosity blossoms, their physical skills accelerate and they become delightful companions! But toddlers and preschoolers can also challenge us to the core. Delightful as they are, they are also irrational, demanding, emotionally volatile, resistant, and trying to be their own person yet needing to stay close and connected at the same time. They definitely have their own opinions.

For many parents, this is a difficult and confusing time that can undermine your sense of yourself as a competent parent.

When we counsel together we will explore all aspects of toddler and/or preschooler development and behaviour. I will help you find ways to support your child’s development in a positive, connected, and loving way. You will learn about normal child development, learn parenting and “discipline” approaches that result in all around healthy, secure, confident and competent people.

Counselling for Adults

We live in very challenging times. Our world is changing at a pace never experienced before in human history. Many people are living with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship challenges, financial challenges, identity challenges, memory challenges, health challenges. We interact more with our “devices” than with each other. People feel more alone and isolated then they feel connected.

It is easy to be overwhelmed.  Counselling can offer a safe place to examine our challenges and find ways to feel better about ourselves, feel more grounded and learn techniques to maneuver successfully through all these challenges. 

As an elder who has had many “lived experiences”, and has supported people of all ages, I look forward to assisting you in your life journey.
