Parent Support
Support for you as a parent: practical, judgement-free help when behaviour, routines, communication or the sheer load of parenting feel like too much. In South Perth and online across Australia.
Parenting can be rewarding and, at the same time, genuinely hard. You might recognise some of these.
For parents and carers of children and teenagers.
Meltdowns, defiance or big behaviour, and strategies that used to work no longer landing.
Homework, screens, mornings or bedtime turning into a daily battle.
Supporting ADHD, autism or sensory needs, and wanting approaches that actually fit your child.
You and your co-parent or partner pulling in different directions.
Feeling stretched thin, short-tempered, or like you are somehow getting it wrong.
Navigating your child's emotions and a new co-parenting relationship after separation.
Make sense of what is underneath the behaviour, so you can respond rather than react.
Routines, boundaries and communication approaches you can actually use at home.
Approaches matched to your child's age, temperament and any neurodivergence.
Space for your own stress, guilt and overwhelm: a steadier parent helps steady the home.
Support for parents of children and teens is offered by Mel and Nadia; support for parents of late teens and adult children is offered by Krasna.

Practical strategies to try at home, with follow-up sessions as and when you need them.
No. Parent support is for you. You can do this work without your child present, though we can bring them in later if that would help.
No. Parent support helps whether you are in the thick of a hard patch, adjusting to a new stage, or simply want to parent with more confidence.
Yes. Sessions can include both parents or co-parents, which often helps everyone get on the same page.
That is common, and often part of the work. Sessions can help you find shared, workable ground even when you see things differently.
No referral is required. You can book directly online or get in touch with us to arrange a first session.
