Therapeutic Coaching & Psychoeducation session for parents of neurodivergent children & YP
Parenting a neurodivergent child can be deeply meaningful and profoundly demanding. Therapeutic coaching sessions differ from psychotherapy as they offer a focus on psychoeducation, practical, present-day strategies to manage challenges, build confidence, and navigate life or parenting with support for your nervous system and emotional wellbeing. They can also provide a space for exploring our own nervous system alongside your child’s and how information on how neurodivergence, trauma, or sensory needs influence parenting styles.
This approach can also support you to:
- Understand your own nervous system responses alongside your child’s
- Make sense of overwhelm, exhaustion, or emotional reactivity without blame
- Explore how your own neurodivergence or sensory needs may be activated in parenting
- Develop ways of responding that support both your child’s regulation and your own
- Build self-compassion and confidence in your parenting, rather than relying on external expectations or “shoulds”
Rather than focusing on fixing you or your child, these sessions are a space for understanding, attunement, and sustainability, helping you parent in ways that are kinder to your nervous system and aligned with you, your child’s and your family’s needs.
