Supporting You in Parenting Children with Challenges
Raising a child with special needs or challenges requires patience, resilience, and a deep understanding of their unique world. I provide compassionate support and guidance to help you address the specific needs of your child, whether they are related to physical, emotional, or behavioral challenges. My goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies necessary to foster a nurturing and supportive environment for your child’s growth and development.
Parenting Approaches: Circle of Security & Beyond
Parenting is a journey filled with emotional highs and lows. I offer guidance through the Circle of Security framework, attachment-based practices, and insights from the Bruce Perry Child Trauma Academy. These approaches help you understand and respond to your child’s needs while managing your own reactions. By learning to regulate your nervous system and “putting on your own oxygen mask first,” you can be fully present for your child, breaking cycles of escalation and fostering a calm, secure environment. This approach not only enhances your connection with your child but also promotes their emotional and psychological well-being.

Guiding You Through the Adoption Journey Together
Adoption is a beautiful and complex process that brings unique challenges and rewards. I offer support to adoptive parents as they navigate the emotional and practical aspects of adoption. Together, we explore the attachment dynamics that may arise and work towards building a secure, loving bond with your child, ensuring that you feel confident and prepared to meet their needs.
At Heart Tree Counselling, my mission is to provide you with the support and tools you need to be the best parent you can be. Whether you’re dealing with the challenges of adoption, raising a child with special needs, or simply seeking to enhance your parenting skills, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
