Parenting Issues

Being a parent can bring immense joy and fulfillment, but the transition to parenthood and parenting itself can be one of the most stressful stages of life.

Many parents find the ongoing demands of daily life to be stressful, including balancing work and family demands or relationship and financial pressures.

If you feel that the stress and anxiety associated with parenting is affecting your ability to enjoy life, a psychologist may be able to help.

Our psychologists are highly skilled at helping you understand what is causing your parenting difficulties, and their knowledge and experience covers all kinds of parenting issues, including:

• Anger issues
• Frustration
• Communication issues
• Step-children issues
• Acceptance
• Work and family balance
• Financial stress
• Bullying
• Methods of Parenting
• Divorce / separation of partners
• Same-sex partners
• Postnatal issues
• Single-parent anxiety and stress

Our psychologists can help parents in many different ways. For some, it may be about addressing their emotional or relationship needs that can make parenting challenging or strengthening communication in a family. For other it may include examining their own childhood experiences and the parenting they received.

Most forms of therapy will be able to provide parents with the space to talk about their most intimate thoughts and feelings concerning parenthood.

Each consultation will allow parents the opportunity to further understand why they parent they way they do, and what strategies can be put in place to assist them to move forwards.
