Coaching and Psychotherapy
Coaching services aim to increase parenting confidence, comfort, parent-child and sibling relationships. This is done by encouraging you to make significant behavior and lifestyle changes to incorporate new skills. Psychotherapy is a health service that includes mental health practitioners with training and experience in diagnosing and treating emotional and psychological problems. The coaching provided does not include psychotherapy or any other health care service.
Coaching Commitment
Though at times it may feel like a close personal relationship, the coaching relationship is a professional relationship. As the coach, my job is to further build on and develop the parenting skills and knowledge you already possess and to assist you in decisions about making changes. I will be honest, direct, and at times challenge you in ways that might feel uncomfortable. As the client, you will set the direction and focus of the coaching sessions and to determine how much change you are able or willing to make. You will be expected to be honest about your progress and to speak up and discuss your concerns.
