How I Work With Parents
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-informed practice. I focus on translating complex clinical jargon into everyday strategies that you can actually use at home and in school.
- Parent-Led: You know your child best. My role is to give you the tools and framework to support them.
- Practical: We focus on the 'what next'. Not just talking about problems, but mapping out concrete routines, responses, and environmental tweaks.
- Multidisciplinary Understanding: I look at the whole picture—how attention, sensory needs, emotions, and learning all intersect.
Online Consultation Boundaries
It is crucial for families to understand the professional boundaries of online parent guidance:
- Parent Guidance Only: International online services are strictly parent consultation and psychoeducation. They are not direct psychotherapy with the child, and they are not a formal cross-border medical or psychological diagnosis.
- Not Emergency Care: If your child is in acute distress, experiencing a mental health crisis, or poses a danger to themselves or others, you must contact local emergency services immediately.
- When Referral Is Needed: If a concern requires medication, formal regulated diagnosis for legal/school funding purposes in your home country, or weekly in-person therapy, I will direct you to seek local multidisciplinary professionals (e.g., Developmental Pediatricians, Neurologists, local Psychologists).
