Parenting Support

How we can help you on your parenting journey

At Kidz Therapy we understand that navigating your child's needs can be complex and challenging, and we are here to support you through this journey.

Our therapists can help with:

Understanding the specific needs and concerns you have for your child.
Provide parenting support and advice tailored to your family's situation.
Recommend practical strategies you can implement at home to support your child.
If required, create a therapeutic plan to help your family.
Provide tailored support for parenting neurodivergent children

Parenting support sessions can be conducted in-person or online.

Common times parents need extra support

Children don't come with a manual, and every child is different, even those raised in the same family can be opposites! However, it's often when unexpected change occurs that parents can feel lost about how to handle their own emotions as well as those of their children.

Common times we are asked to support parents include:

Marriage breakdown and separation
Transition (changing schools, moving house etc)
Grief and loss
Following a medical diagnosis
Neuro divergence

Often parents want to enrol their child in therapy when difficulties occur - but this is often not the best plan. By providing you with a toolkit of strategies you can implement at home, you can have a significant impact.

Parenting Neurodivergent Children

Our qualified therapists are able to work with parents who have recently had a diagnosis for neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)* and ADHD. Even if you have not had a diagnosis but suspect some level of neurodicergence, our therapists can help you to better understand your child and create a plan that includes strategies to support your child.

*we are unable to work with level 3 ASD

How to help your children during seperation

Parenting through separation and divorce

Separation and divorce can be challenging and emotionally draining for everyone involved, particularly for children.

During these turbulent times, parents may struggle to find the right words to explain the situation and manage their children's emotions and behaviour effectively. Our therapists are here to provide the support and guidance you need.

Through our parenting support sessions, we offer tailored advice and practical strategies for parents to help you navigate this difficult period. By working with one of our experienced therapists, you can ensure your child feels heard, understood, and supported by you as your family transitions to a new chapter.
