I offer the following parenting services based in Fairlands (Johannesburg) or online:
Becoming a parent is an enormous change in anyone’s life. New moms face challenges such as sleep deprivation, frustration, a lack of time for themselves, and changes to the parental relationship, as well as confusion of how best to care for their baby. It is also an enormous adjustment for new moms to adapt to changes to their career, day-to-day life, priorities and way of living.
Negotiating these challenges takes a toll on new moms' mental health. Sessions offer support, and a chance to promote your own mental health and lay a good foundation for your baby's mental health, too. If you are on Discovery's Maternity Benefit, you may be eligible for 2 mental health consultations which will be claimed directly from Discovery.
Expected timeframe: 1 - 8 sessions
Parenting is challenging, and having a child who struggles with sensory processing can really make things difficult for both parents and kids. As sensory processing disorders mean that children’s nervous systems either over or under-respond to sensory input in their environment, this can lead to challenging behaviours and a tough time for the whole family. With a knowledge of psychology and parenting, as well as an interest in sensory processing disorders, I provide parental input to help you and your child to regain balance and improve the quality of your relationship.

Raising a child is a complex and challenging task, and family life has a huge impact on your child’s mental health and wellbeing. While children don’t come with that often-wished-for manual, parental counselling can provide you with the guidance, knowledge, tools and emotional support you need to parent more effectively. It also helps you to improve your relationship with your child.
