Parent Consultation and Counselling

Do you sometimes:

1. Feel emotionally and physically exhausted in meeting your child’s needs?

2. Wish to be a better parent but was unable to find alternative ways of parenting?

3. Have difficulty working with your spouse as a team?

Parenting is more than learning the skills of parenting or science of child development.  It is an art of building a relationship with your child as he or she grows. Parenting is also a highly dynamic process in which your feeling, thought and behavior, past and present would interplay with those of your child's. It’s about finding a unique way of parenting that is suitable for you and each of your precious child, with a deep awareness and understanding of both your strengths and predicaments as a parent, and your child as a unique human being. 

Parent counselling/ consultation can help you to:

1. Enhance your sensitivity towards your own needs and those of your children;

2. Develop a plan to tackle behavioral and emotional concerns you may have about your child;

3. Transit through major life events or changes, such as illness and divorce;

4. Process your personal dilemma so that you can enhance your parental efficacy, satisfaction and meaning;

5. Understand your strength as a parent and your child’s strength; and

6. Forge strong and intimate family relationships.
