Services for Families

Individual Sessions with AASW Accredited and experienced Social Woker

Parent Coaching for
Child Skill development

Children build emotional and social skills best when the adults around them feel calm, clear and confident. This service supports you as the parent with practical, evidence-informed strategies to help your child thrive, without them needing to attend.

​

Whether your child is anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling socially, we’ll work together to:

  • Understand what's developmentally typical (and what’s not)

  • Respond to challenging behaviour without escalating

  • Build your child’s confidence, regulation, and resilience

  • Make realistic changes that shift stuck patterns at home

 

This is not therapy. It’s targeted support for parents ready to try something different.

When your child's behaviour feels like too much

If you’re feeling worn down by constant tantrums, outbursts, sibling fights, or emotional shutdowns, you’re not alone. This service is for parents who want straightforward support to understand their child’s behaviour and respond in ways that actually help.

​

Together, we’ll work through:

  • What’s really going on underneath the behaviour

  • How to respond calmly without giving in or blowing up

  • Setting boundaries that stick without power struggles

  • Creating more predictability and connection at home

​

No judgment, no one-size-fits-all advice just realistic strategies grounded in child development and what works in real families.

Strong Foundations

This service helps you focus on the core routines and relationships that set kids up to cope well  emotionally, socially and at school.

​

We look at:

  • Sleep habits that support regulation and resilience

  • Tech boundaries that actually work (without constant battles)

  • Routines that bring predictability, not pressure

  • Small, doable ways to strengthen connection every day

​​

You don’t need a meltdown to make change. This is for parents who want to reset the basics and build a steadier rhythm at home.
