Parent your unique child,

in your unique way.

I’ll join you on a journey to explore your parenting values and strengthen your connection with your child.

Parenting brings with it many joys, but often many challenges. By keeping your personal values and your individual child in mind, we will work together to deeply explore your parenting experience and help you to feel more confident about how you choose to meet your family’s diverse needs. We will help you bring more daily connection, understanding and enjoyment into your family life.

From Day Dot.

1. (slang, Australia) A very long time ago; as far back as one can remember.

Did you know? Across the generations, the impact of factors such as genetics, parenting style, societal norms, and other life experiences are passed on to children and contribute to their development from infancy to adulthood? These are passed on to their children in turn. It can be so helpful to consider the complex systems that have influenced your own and your child’s unique personality and development.
At From Day Dot Psychology, we aim to take a holistic view of you, your child and family while offering practical support for the tricky parts you are dealing with right now.

Our approach…

Some of the theoretical perspectives that underpin our understanding of child development include Attachment Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Polyvagal Theory which are used to guide our conscious, gentle and responsive parenting approaches.

In our work together, we will use ideas and techniques grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, Schema Therapy, Play Therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

Additionally, we always aim to provide a trauma-informed, responsive and neuro-affirming approach to everyone we meet.
