We help parents and carers address their parenting concerns and help them feel more confident in their abilities. We work with parents and carers and guide them by implementing child-parent relationship therapy techniques into their parenting.

By the end of each session, parents and carers:

• Learn to understand their child when experiencing "challenging" behaviours and how to respond to them.
• Learn how to effectively establish limits in a gentle manner that protects children's self-esteem
• Enhance feelings of affection towards children
• Enrich the bond between them and their child
• Gain a better understanding of children's behaviour
• Recognise the relationship between their psychological state and the impact it has on their children's behaviour
• Manage their own responses to prevent child behaviour from deteriorating

Parents and carers will have more confidence in their ability to help their children:

• Manage their emotions and behaviours in healthy ways
• Become more self-assured and boost their self-esteem
• Foster a sense of responsibility and self-discipline
• Inspire to become self-reliant and self-motivated
• Develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness
• Reduce worries, anger, sadness, and other ‘big’ emotions

We understand how difficult it is to make appointments when you have children. If necessary, we can arrange teletherapy parenting support sessions at a time that is convenient for you.

One of our best-selling and most-recommended packages is our Telehealth + Custom Sleep Plan. It's got everything you need in one convenient package – plus, it's COVID-proof. Whether you're locked down or not, your appointment will go through as scheduled.

This is a 1-hour telehealth video call session where we evaluate your baby, toddler, or preschooler's sleep diary and have the results available to be discussed during your session. We will talk in-depth about your child and decide together on the best ways to help them sleep better.

After the appointment, your clinician will prepare a detailed sleep plan - generally between 3 to 5 pages long - so you know the next steps to take. Our sleep plans include important details from your child’s sleep diary evaluation, which you may show to other health care providers. We usually provide our sleep plans within 3 days.

Our amazing email support will be just a click away. Feel free to email us as often as you’d like while you’re working on your sleep plan. This allows us to make adjustments to the plan as needed and address any issues that arise.

If you need additional help that cannot be addressed via email, you can schedule a 20-min follow-up appointment as needed.

ANY CONCERNS ABOUT TELEHEALTH?
We can accomplish everything in a Telehealth video call just as we do in clinics or during home visits. With the help of our clinic doll, we will set up our camera to demonstrate how to settle your baby. You can take us on a video tour of your setup if you'd like to show us around and if there's any unusual behaviour you'd like to show us, you may simply email it along and we'll look it over.

Telehealth is perfect for exhausted parents since all you have to do is turn on your camera and we're good to go. No strict dress codes – even your pets are welcome!

FOR FAMILIES BASED IN MELBOURNE
If you live in Melbourne, our Box Hill South clinic is welcome to give you face-to-face holistic sleep and settling support while working to improve your child's sleeping habits.

Our clinic care includes:

• An initial 50-minute session, followed by 2-3 standard follow-up consultations weekly or fortnightly, as needed and as preferred.
• A comprehensive initial sleep assessment and continuous monitoring of your child's progress during sessions.
• Developing detailed, practical measures to help your child with sleep difficulties that are targeted to his or her specific needs. We do not provide a written sleep plan, instead, we walk you through the next steps each time you visit.
• Face-to-face discussions and demonstrations will ensure that you leave our clinic with confidence and a clear understanding of what to do next.

NOTE: If this is your first visit to our clinic and we have not seen you for a Home Visit or Telehealth consultation, please book an "Initial Consult". If you're returning for a follow-up appointment, book a "Standard Consult."
