Your child is struggling with anxious or sad feelings. Irritability, defiance and outsized anger are prevalent in many of your interactions. Children often "hold it together," at school and then fall apart at home. As a parent, you feel triggered and at the same time hopeless when your attempts to understand or comfort fail. Feeling seen, understood and validated are imperatives for healthy development and self esteem. Parents struggling with patience and reactivity to challenging behaviors will find difficulty providing consistent communication and empathy. You seek for your child positive coping skills so that they flourish.

Growing up is hard and sometimes tough to navigate, for kids and parents! Between early childhood and young adulthood, there are many challenges that children face on a daily basis. Often times, daily tasks and transitions bring on stress and sometimes depression and anxiety. Events ranging from separation to assault can provoke traumatic stress in the youngest child. This stress may lead to behaviors like isolating, self harm, crying, bed wetting, refusing to participate in activities or acting out. Your child has their own way of coping with change, which may negatively affect their relationships with teachers, friends or parents.

Life can be stressful, especially if you have a diagnosis of Autism/Aspergers. Navigating your social world and relationships can be confusing when you see the world through a different lens than your peers. However, with coaching and practice, social situations, relationships, school and work can be less intimidating. If you're a parent of a child with Autism, receiving a diagnosis of autism shatters a parent’s dreams. You wonder if you child will ever learn to talk, have friends, get a job, or live independently. You need support and advice from a trusted professional who can guide you on this difficulty journey.

Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
