How you were parented

The way that we parent can be influenced by our own experiences of being parented. Transitioning to the role of a parent may bring up challenges or memories from one's own childhood or upbringing. 

Together, we can start to ‘join the dots’ between your own childhood experiences and early attachments and how these might be interacting with your interactions, behaviour and relationships in the here and now as a parent.

There might be traumatic memories from your childhood that you’ve never worked through. You might not have needed to until now, and could function just fine, but becoming a parent has generated a curiosity and desire to do the work now because you can see the impact showing up in how you feel about yourself as a parent and your relationship with your child or children.

We can also think together about how you want to be as a parent, and what values are important to you as you move through parenthood.
