Coaching, Coordinating and Consulting

PARENT COACHING & COUNSELLING

Co-parents know that even if their marriage ends, they will be parenting together forever. That is why I am so passionate about supporting families to co-parent well, especially when there is high-conflict.

I also work with parents of children and adolescents who are navigating:

•      Anxiety, worry, and school-related stress

•      Depression, withdrawal, and low mood

•      Identity questions, gender, sexuality, belonging, self-worth

•      Family change: separation, new siblings, blended family adjustment, loss

•      Peer relationship difficulties and social anxiety

•      Behavioural changes that signal something bigger is going on

BLENDED FAMILY SUPPORT

Blended families are their own particular kind of complicated. Step-parenting, loyalty conflicts, different parenting styles, kids who didn't ask for any of this and are maybe making it all feel harder

I work with:

•      Step-parents navigating role clarity, rejection, and the challenge of loving kids who may not love you back yet

•      Couples managing co-parenting with an ex while building a new relationship

•      Kids caught in loyalty conflicts between biological parents and step-parents

•      Families trying to build a shared identity when everyone came from somewhere else

Divorce/ Mediation Preparation 

It can be very intimidating to go into a lawyer's office or mediation session not knowing what to expect or how to prepare. These coaching sessions provide information to help you feel the most empowered possible.

  • Parenting Plan Preparation and Information

  • Supporting getting clear on your values before you negotiate about what is important to you

  • Information around children’s development and needs in a separation and how best to support them

  • How to create a child-focused parenting plan

  • Information on resources and steps during the process and referrals to trusted professionals such as child therapists, lawyers, actuaries and financial analysts.
