At Positive Young Minds I help you take a step back and catch your breath, and support you to parent, without exhausting yourself and wanting to throw it all in and run away to Bali.
Why is parenting so hard?
You want your child to feel happy and loved.
And it's hurts your heart as a parent when your child is struggling
What do you do when your child is having difficulty sleeping, or don't want to go to school?
How do you help your child manage their anxiety?
How do you help your child become unstuck from their difficult thoughts and feelings?
What do you when your child is feeling lonely and not enjoying their life?
What do you when you are feeling overwhelmed and burnt out?
You've googled, you've read the books and the blogs. You've tried so many things and it seems that no matter what nothing seems to work..
It's exhausting, isn't it.

I've got you.
Your child is unique. You are the expert on your child and you are doing the best you can.
Sometimes the right support at the right time can make a world of difference, for you and your child.
When you're struggling to support your child the best you can and nothing seems to be helping it's a horrible feeling. (The saying of put your own oxygen mask on first is meaningless if you can't find it, if it hasn't dropped down or you don't know how to put it on, and your child is pulling at your clothes demanding their own.)
The strategies I use are based on practical mindfulness and self-compassion, and include ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). These strategies honour you as an individual and work to support you living a life that is important to you.
When I work with you, it's not a cookie cutter approach.
1. You, your child and your family are unique.
2. There is not one perfect way to do things.
3. Choosing actions that are meaningful to you AND improve functioning for you child are key.
4. The sessions involve critical thinking.
5. You will be challenged. Challenged to practice different ways of looking at your child's behaviour, reflect on your expectations, engage in problem solving, analyse, question, and change.
Are you ready for a parenting strategy session?
It's never too early or too late to seek support. You don't need to do it on your own.
