Parenting + Relationships
Becoming a parent is a momentous transition. It is likely to be one of the biggest, toughest and most exciting challenges in your lifetime. There’ll be good days and bad days. There might be days when you’re left thinking to yourself ‘I don’t like this at all, why did I do this?’, ‘have I chosen the right person to do this with’ or ‘I do not like my child’.
We know parenting can be tough and we’re here to help you navigate some of the following issues:
- differences in parenting approaches between you and your partner
- relationship challenges
- personal boundaries and self care
- dealing with difficult toddler and preschooler behaviours
- understanding my child’s developmental needs
- sibling rivalry
Work Life Strife
It is common for women to reassess and reorient their attachment and engagement with work after having children. Full time work, travel, commuting and after hours client engagements may no longer be an option. It may also be that the industry or profession is no longer of interest. So we see women redefining, retraining and seeking to alter their career pursuits, very commonly in a way where they take back control of their schedule and specialisation. As scary as this change can be it, can be exciting as well. An opportunity.
We can support you with:
- re-entry into the workforce in a new or existing role
- management of work life balance crises
- identify alternate career paths
- co-design a career plan
