Being a parent can be very stressful, especially if your child has a physical illness or special needs. Parenting sessions focus on understanding the meaning of your child's behaviour, what may influence it, and on finding strategies that can improve difficult behaviour. It focuses on empowering the parents and building a relationship between a child and a parent that is based on positive interactions.
Depending on the age of your child, your child may have their own therapy in conjunction with parenting sessions and some sessions may be done jointly.
Susanna has extensive experience of working with parents and understands the dilemmas parents may come across when trying to challenge their children’s behaviour. Her approach is based on behavioural principles and well-researched strategies, and she also acknowledges that when the parent lacks confidence in their parenting, these strategies are less likely to succeed.
