As a mother of 5, with a background in secondary school education and a Masters in counselling, I am passionate about families experiencing more joy and less stress as they strive to meet the demands of family life.
It is not about being perfect, being an expert, or even about getting it right everytime, everyday. It is about knowing how to find your way through the myriad of advice, attitudes and beliefs and learn to focus on what is right for you and your family.
As a parent it is often difficult to look at a situation objectively. The parent/child relationship is a relationship like no other, and one where sometimes our emotional connection makes us less able to face the challenges of parenting in the most effective way.
If there is an area of your family life that is causing you more stress than joy, then please contact me via email to organise a private or family consultation, either by phone, in home or online. Reasonable rates apply and the first 15 minute consult is always free of charge.
