Parenting counselling and parent training, online

Parenting is the job everyone has an opinion about and nobody trains you for. If you feel tired, guilty, or like you're getting it wrong, you're not alone, and it doesn't make you a bad parent.

Parenting support gives you a place to be honest, and to leave with ideas you can use the same evening.

Do both parents need to attend?

It helps, but it isn't required. One parent can start, and the other can join any session.

Is this only for parents of young children?

No. We support parents of toddlers right through to teenagers.

Is the programme in a group?

[At launch, the programme is one-to-one. Small parent groups may follow.]
