Parenting Support and Therapy

 

Parenting can be deeply rewarding — but also incredibly challenging. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how best to support your child, therapy can help. At Dr Stuart Psychologists, we provide therapy and guidance for parents facing a wide range of challenges — in clinics across London or online.

 

When Parenting Feels Hard

Every parent struggles sometimes. You might be coping with day-to-day stress, or facing more complex situations involving your child’s behaviour, emotional wellbeing, or special needs.

 

You may be experiencing:

• Feeling constantly worried, guilty, or “not good enough”

• Struggles with setting boundaries or staying calm

• Conflict or tension within the family

• Burnout or emotional exhaustion

• Worries about how your child is coping

• Feeling stuck between parenting styles or advice

 

Parenting difficulties don’t mean you’re failing. It just means you may need some support — and that’s okay.

 

How Therapy Can Help

We offer a space to explore your parenting challenges without judgment. Together, we help you find practical, compassionate ways to feel more confident and connected. Our approaches may include:

• Parenting-focused CBT – to help with stress, confidence, and managing behaviour

• Compassion-Focused Therapy – to reduce shame and increase self-kindness

• Attachment and Emotion Coaching – to strengthen your connection with your child

• Family systems approaches – to improve communication and family dynamics

​

We tailor treatment to each individual, drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches including Couples counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy and other specialist therapies. Or see other pages related to anxiety here anxiety, stress and burnout and depression
