Parenting Counselling
Parenting can be as challenging as it can be rewarding. Our children can bring great joy to our lives as we support them to navigate their young lives. At the same time, parenting can be frustrating, thankless and just hard work, particularly when children move into their teenage years.
- What do you do when your child refuses to go to school or is constantly getting into trouble at school?
- What if your teenager seems to be drifting, gets in with the "wrong" crowd or starts to experiment with drugs or alcohol?
- What if your teenager no longer listens to you, respects you or behaves abusively towards you?
Life Supports counsellors support our clients to navigate their role as parents when things become overwhelming, or at times when they feel stuck and are unsure of the best steps to take for themselves and for their children. Our counsellors are highly experienced at working through the challenges of parenting.
You may choose to attend parenting counselling with your child or teenager or perhaps attend sessions individually to work through the issues. We can work along side you to better understand your child or teenager and their developmental stage and identify strategies to support you in this challenging role of a parent. You will learn constructive ways to deal with the issues and conflicts that parenting brings such that you are able to forge a more positive relationship with your child or teenager.
Life Supports counsellors have offices located in Balwyn, Melbourne CBD, Moorabbin, Niddrie, Prahran, Seddon and Geelong.
