You want to raise a child who feels seen, heard, and understood by you. You hope to nurture a secure relationship that can flourish despite the inevitable challenges in childhood and beyond...
But instead you feel…
Stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt-out from impossibly high expectations and the busyness of daily life.
A sense of disconnection in your relationship with your child or your identity as a parent.
Guilt or shame from resorting to parenting tactics that don’t align with the kind of parent you want to be.
Weighed down by perfectionism or a nagging inner voice that gets in the way of being truly present with your child.
Unsure about what your child needs from you and anxiousness about how to help manage their behaviour and emotions.
Stuck for what to do to create meaningful change.
Life doesn't have to stay this way...
Hi! I'm Natalie Stokes
I can help
I'm a Melbourne-based psychologist offering convenient, online help. I support parents of 0 - 12 year olds to put their big picture goals of raising confident, resilient, emotionally intelligent children into action by guiding them how to nurture connection, compassion, and a sense of security.
Parents walk away feeling clear on what their child needs, confident in how to respond, skilled in how to regulate their own emotions, and able to be self-compassionate.
How it works for you
1. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation
Get in touch today. I’ll answer any questions you have and you can be sure we’re a good fit.
2. Get the support you need
Join me for sessions in whichever format suits you and your family.
Whether that’s a group program with other parents on similar journeys, 1:1 coaching tailored to your specific needs, or a one-off guidance session to problem solve a specific situation.
Together we’ll develop the tools you need to find clarity and confidence moving forward.
3. Find clarity in your parenting
Your connection will be stronger and you’ll be more able to show up as the parent you want to be.
You don’t have to keep making it up as you go
I can help you to navigate the challenges of raising secure children in this fast-evolving world.
