Empowerment Hour for Parents

Parenting comes with its highs and lows, and sometimes, it can feel like you're navigating through stormy waters. Whether you're managing challenging behaviours, complex family dynamics, or simply feeling overwhelmed, our Empowerment Hour provides clarity and practical tools to help you address your family's emotional and psychological challenges.

This is not therapy—it's a focused, solution-driven consultation designed specifically for parents who need actionable strategies and guidance for their family's mental wellbeing.

Is an Empowerment Hour Right for You?

This service is ideal for parents who:

• Are struggling with specific emotional challenges, such as anxiety, stress, or emotional dysregulation in the family

• Need guidance on supporting their child's psychological wellbeing without diving into long-term therapy

• Want to focus on their role as a parent, exploring how their own emotional responses impact family dynamics

• Feel overwhelmed and need clear, actionable advice tailored to their situation

Step 3: Personalised Report & Parent Guide
Following your session, you'll receive a comprehensive report that includes:

• Summary of key discussion points

• Customised strategies and recommendations

• Relevant psychoeducation materials based on your specific challenges

• Resources for continued support

• Clear action steps for implementation

Our Approach

Our Empowerment Hours are guided by three core principles:

Non-Judgmental Support: Parenting is challenging, and we provide a space free from criticism where you can openly discuss your struggles and concerns.

Solution-Focused Guidance: Rather than dwelling on problems, we focus on identifying practical solutions and strategies that work for your unique family situation.

Empowerment Over Dependence: Our goal is to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to handle challenges independently, not to create ongoing dependence on our services.

Real-Life Examples

​

Understanding Children's Grief Patterns
James became a single father to 7-year-old Emma after his wife's unexpected passing six months ago. During the Empowerment Hour, he expressed concern that Emma wasn't "grieving properly" because she would be playing happily one moment and crying the next. We introduced the concept of "puddle jumping" - how children tend to dip in and out of grief rather than experiencing it continuously like adults. We explored how Emma's behaviour was actually a normal grief response for her age, and developed ways for James to support these natural transitions while creating safe spaces for Emma to express all her feelings. His personalised guide included age-appropriate grief activities, guidance on answering difficult questions, and strategies for maintaining connection to her mother's memory in everyday life.

​

Supporting a Child Coming Out
Hayley and Steve sought an Empowerment Hour after their 15-year-old son came out as gay, and they wanted to ensure they responded supportively while also helping their 10-year-old daughter understand the situation. During the session, we explored their initial reactions and feelings, provided education about sexual orientation development, and discussed age-appropriate ways to talk about sexuality with both children. Their guide included conversation starters for both children, resources for family discussions about identity and acceptance, and strategies for handling potential challenges at school or with extended family. We also addressed how to create a supportive home environment where both children feel safe expressing themselves authentically.
