Group THERAPY

Becoming a dad is a life-changing journey filled with both joy and challenges.

Join us for this interactive webinar to navigate the early years of parenting whether you’re a new dad or welcoming another little one into your family.

Memories are not always happy.

Do you have difficult memories that come back and torture you at inconvenient times?

Maybe triggers send you straight back to the event when you were distressed and fearful?

Maybe there is just a sense of ongoing sadness or loss? Life doesn’t feel as good as it could be...

EMDR helps difficult memories become just a part of your past.

When the daily stress of parenting becomes chronic it can turn into parental burnout. According to new research, this is an intense exhaustion that leads parents to feel detached from their children and unsure of their parenting abilities, distinct from other forms of burnout. 

This 12-week program aims to help you understand the three components of burnout and provide simple activities to help you feel better. 

Delivered via email and SMS, this program is extremely accessible via your smartphone for parents too tired and busy to log on to a computer and undertake a compete online program. No interaction with others required (other than your children!), and no homework to submit. Just simple information and suggestions for reflection and action if you wish.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a relatively new form of therapy which helps you relate differently to your anxious feelings, depressed moods, worrying mind, self-defeating behaviors, and/or anything else that causes you problems. The aim of ACT is to limit the ways these run your life. This 6-week group comprises short educational components, group discussions, and lots of experiential exercises. ACT has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and psychological distress.

Without good information and the right skills, parenting can feel overwhelming. Parents often wonder: “What is one thing I could do for my child that would make a difference both now and in the future?” The answer, found after more than twenty years of research, is to build your child’s emotional intelligence. This means helping kids understand their emotions by recognizing what they are feeling and why. 

During this workshop you'll learn: 

• The importance of Emotional Intelligence 

• How to recognise, respond to, and validate what your child is feeling

• How to be an effective Emotion Coach using the Five Steps of Emotion Coaching with kids of any age 

• Ways to express understanding and empathy

• How to set limits and problem solve with children

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. 

This 8-week group focuses on helping you:

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read emotional needs

• Support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions

• Enhance the development of your child's self esteem

• Honour the innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure

This is a 3-week group devoted to helping you kickstart your mental health in the postnatal period. It is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is the recommended, first-line treatment for perinatal anxiety and depression.
