What Are Parenting Counselling Sessions?

Parenting counselling sessions offer a supportive space for parents and caregivers to explore the emotional, relational, and practical challenges of raising children. Whether you’re facing day-to-day stress, struggling with your child’s behaviour, or feeling overwhelmed by parenting responsibilities, these sessions are designed to help you feel more confident, connected, and supported in your role as a parent.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding—and also one of the most demanding—roles in life. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

What Parenting Counselling Can Help With:

  • Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or burnt out
  • Parenting children with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent needs
  • Managing emotional or behavioural challenges in children or teens
  • Navigating differences in parenting styles (e.g. with a partner or co-parent)
  • Supporting children through transitions (e.g. school changes, divorce, grief)
  • Learning to set boundaries and stay calm under stress
  • Rebuilding connection with your child or teen
  • Processing your own childhood experiences and how they impact your parenting

A Non-Judgmental, Compassionate Space

Parenting counselling is not about telling you what you’re doing “wrong” or giving rigid advice. Instead, it’s about:

  • Helping you understand your child’s emotional needs
  • Supporting you to respond with calm, clarity, and empathy
  • Exploring your own feelings, triggers, and stressors
  • Developing tools and strategies that work for your unique family

Whether you’re parenting a toddler, teen, or somewhere in between, counselling can help you feel more equipped, emotionally grounded, and connected — both to your child and to yourself.

Neuro-Informed Parenting Support

At Inner Therapy, we specialise in supporting parents of neurodivergent children and adolescents, including those with autism, ADHD, or sensory differences. Our parenting sessions are neuro-affirming, meaning we work with you to:

  • Better understand your child’s behaviour from a neurodivergent perspective
  • Reduce shame and increase self-compassion in your parenting journey
  • Develop strategies that are supportive, not punitive
  • Strengthen your relationship with your child through connection and understanding

You Deserve Support, Too

Many parents put their own needs last. But your emotional well-being is essential—not only for your own health, but also for your ability to parent in a calm, connected way. Parenting counselling gives you space to reflect, recharge, and reframe your challenges with the guidance of a compassionate, experienced therapist.

You’re doing your best. Let us support you in doing it with greater clarity, calm, and confidence.
