Therapeutic support for parents and families who want to better understand their child’s emotional needs, experiences and relationships.
Being a parent or carer can sometimes leave you wondering what is happening beneath your child’s behaviour or how best to support them.
The Creative Therapy Hub offers parent consultation and parent-and-child therapeutic support tailored to the needs of each family.
Parent & Family Support
Parent Consultations
Parent consultations offer dedicated space to think about your child, your concerns and what may be contributing to the difficulties you are experiencing.
They can provide an opportunity to:
● explore what may be happening beneath behaviour
● better understand emotional needs
● think about patterns within relationships
● explore ways of responding to difficult situations
● consider whether further therapeutic support may be helpful
A parent consultation may be helpful on its own or may form part of a wider piece of therapeutic work.
Parent & Child Therapy
Sometimes it can be helpful for a parent or carer and child to attend sessions together.
Parent-and-child therapeutic work focuses on the relationship and can create opportunities to develop greater understanding, connection and communication.
Creative and playful approaches may be used to support interaction and help families explore emotions and experiences in a way that feels manageable.
The exact approach will depend on the needs and circumstances of the family.
When Might Parent or Family Support Be Helpful?
Support may be helpful where there are concerns relating to:
● emotional regulation
● family changes
● communication
● relationship difficulties
● difficult or traumatic experiences
● attachment and connection
● changes in behaviour
● separation or loss
● understanding a child’s emotional needs
You do not need to decide which type of support is needed before contacting me.
What Happens First?
The first step is an initial conversation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss your concerns and consider what type of support may be appropriate. Depending on your circumstances, this may lead to parent consultation, individual therapy for your child, parent-and-child work, or another recommendation.
