When Your Child Won’t Come to Therapy – But You Still Need Help
Is your child reluctant to talk to a therapist?
Are they too anxious, resistant, or simply not ready for counselling?
You’re not alone – and you’re not out of options.
My Parenting Power Hours give you direct access to expert guidance when your child isn’t ready for therapy. In just one focused hour, you’ll gain practical strategies, personalised advice, and renewed confidence to support your child’s wellbeing at home.
What Are Parenting Power Hours?
A Parenting Power Hour is a confidential one-to-one consultation where we focus entirely on your child’s specific challenge and your family’s unique situation. Whether you’re worried about anxiety, friendship problems, behaviour issues, or anything else affecting your child’s wellbeing, these sessions give you the expert support you need, without your child needing to be involved. These sessions can take place in-person or remotely.
These sessions are for you if:
✅ Your child refuses to attend therapy or counselling
✅ You’re not sure if your child is ready for professional support yet
✅ You want practical strategies to try at home first
✅ You need expert guidance on a specific parenting challenge
✅ You feel stuck and need a fresh perspective from someone who really understands
What Happens in a Parenting Power Hour?
Each session is tailored entirely to you and your child’s needs. Here’s what you can expect:
- Before the session:
You’ll briefly outline the challenge you’re facing, so I can prepare and make the most of our time together. - During the hour:
We’ll dive deep into your specific situation. You’ll share what’s happening for your child and family, and I’ll help you understand what might be going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore practical, evidence-based strategies you can start using immediately.
You’ll leave with:
✅ A clear understanding of what your child might be experiencing
✅ Practical, personalised strategies tailored to your family
✅ Confidence in how to respond and support your child at home
✅ Actionable first steps you can take right away
✅ Peace of mind that you’re doing the right thing
Issues We Can Tackle Together
Parenting Power Hours can help with any challenge affecting your child’s emotional wellbeing, including:
- Anxiety, worry, and panic attacks
- Refusing school or nursery
- Friendship difficulties and social struggles
- Low mood or withdrawn behaviour
- Confidence and self-esteem issues
- Anger, aggression, or challenging behaviour
- Sleep problems
- Separation anxiety
- Managing sibling conflict
- Supporting neurodivergent children
- Concerns about self-harm or risky behaviors
- Grief, loss, and big life transitions
- Body image and eating concerns
No issue is too big or too small. If it’s worrying you, it matters – and we can work through it together.
