 I am a psychotherapist, provide online counselling to parents and teens (13-19) who are struggling with their relationship.

It can be difficult for parents when the relationship changes with their child. It feels like you are from different worlds and communicating with each other is a struggle. You are not sure what to say without getting into an argument. You wonder what happened, feel stressed and blame yourself for not being a good parent, it does not have to be this way! With support, you can figure out what battles are worth fighting and build a relationship that is based on mutual respect. 

 You are not alone, ask for help!

At Blooming Families, you are the expert of your life and we work with you to establish the goals that are important for you. Your counsellor will work with you to determine the duration of therapy whether short or long term.  Areas covered, but not limited to improving communication to develop healthier relationships, coping strategies, resolving conflicts, coping with grief, and loss.  We offer a planned programme of support tailored to meet the needs of the individual or family.  The aim being to help parents and teens build stronger relationships that focus on mutual respect, setting clear boundaries, and acceptance of yourself and differences in each other. 

The service offered is professional, honest, highly confidential, and non-judgemental.​  At the end of counselling parents and teens can expect to come away feeling enthusiastic having gained self-awareness, self-love, with the tools, and knowledge to continue to developing themselves and the relationship with each other.

Counselling might feel difficult at first, but with the willingness to talk and listen to each other, it will get better!

​When you feel listened to and heard, it helps you to build trust.  You are more encouraged to think about how you would like your relationship to be.  You are also, more willing to act individually or as a family to make your vision a reality.

I help you to create a happier relationship by giving you the room to talk openly and respectfully.  You learn how to respond to words and not react with emotion.

​With your determination to do the work, you and your teen can create a relationship that benefits both of you. I will help you step-by-step to build your relationship by improving your communication, listening skills and help you to set realistic goals.
