PARENT SUPPORT

Spark for Life Psychology offers parent support for a range of concerns and difficulties. We offer private parent support sessions (subject to availability) as well as a series of online parent workshops.

Our Psychologists have expertise assisting with a range of interpersonal, behavioural, developmental, and emotional challenges. Some of the reasons that parents seek support include:

Post-natal depression and anxiety
Neuro-affirming Parenting upskilling
Understanding neurodiversity and your child's unique brain
Being a neurodivergent parent and strategies that work for you and your family
Parent-child relationship difficulties
Parenting with consistency
Behaviour management strategies
Support through the process of having children assessed and diagnosed

Most of the Psychologists offering parent support are parents themselves, many of whom have neurodivergent family members. For more info on our Clinicians check out Our Team

Parent Support services are also available either in clinic or through Telehealth via online service. See our FAQs for eligibility requirements.

Each Parent Support counselling consultation is 50 minutes in duration. The first one or two consultations involve gaining a thorough understanding of your unique situation including your family dynamics and current difficulties, in order to work together in developing a plan. A range of therapeutic approaches are used depending on the individual situation; these include behaviour management strategies, understanding neurodiversity, changing and developing realistic and sustainable home routines, and exploring the connections between each member in the household to create sustainable changes.
