Parenting and Family Support Services
Parenting can be one of life’s most fulfilling yet challenging journeys. Carmel brings many years of experience in supporting parents as they navigate the joys and stresses of family life. She works closely with parents and children to increase understanding, provide practical strategies, and help families thrive by addressing the unique strengths and challenges they face in today’s ever-changing and complex world.
Carmel is trained in Circle of Security Parenting, Tuning into Kids, and Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS). Her approach is deeply grounded in therapeutic principles informed by attachment theory, neuroscience, and is both trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. Carmel’s strategies are designed to be effective, evidence-based, and compassionate, ensuring they meet the unique needs of every individual and family she works with. She is committed to creating a supportive environment where all clients feel valued, understood, and empowered.
Each family’s needs are different, and Carmel tailors her strategies to suit the developmental stage and age of the children involved. Her aim is to strengthen parenting skills, reduce stress, enhance parental confidence, and improve the overall quality of family life.
