Greetings! I’m Claire…
… a Child & Family Therapist, former school teacher, Christian, and a mom.
I offer Christian Family Therapy that help families that are worried and struggling with their child’s behaviours. My attachment based therapy helps families to feel confident and equip them with with practical tools to achieve connection, co-operation, and a peaceful home.
In today’s world more than ever, it seems quite common for children to have behaviours that surprise us together with a confusing culture, and we need guidance how to navigate and re-orient our family to what really works.
I’m here to work alongside you. For more than 20 years I have supported children and families to develop a roadmap to cultivate mental well-being, healthy parent-child relationships, and emotionally healthy children.
Your Child will do Better with the Right Supports
You’re here because you love your child! You want to raise your child to be mentally well, emotionally regulated, respectful and to grow into a well-functioning adult.
However, you might have questions or doubts about your child and their behaviour, and how it is impacting the family.
You might be worried about your child’s behaviours, their emotional outbursts, their mental health, and the impact that culture, technology and peers have. You might be doubting your family strengths and if you have what it takes to support your child.
You might be struggling as a family – managing your child’s behaviours or dealing with your own surprising emotions that are coming up for you. You might be yelling more, or threatening consequences that don’t work.
However, you really want things to change – you want connection, co-operation and a healthy relationship. Here is where I come in… to walk with you in this journey where I show you skills and information to implement as a family to see long-term results.
