Understanding Emotions With Parent Support

At Little Lighthouse Therapy, our Parent and Carer Support Sessions offer a gentle, confidential space where you can explore and better understand your child’s emotional world. Together, we reflect on the challenges you face, your parenting responses, and the hopes you hold for your relationship with your child.

A central part of this work is the use of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy), an attachment-informed approach that helps parents connect more deeply with their child. By using PACE as a guiding framework, we create opportunities to strengthen your relationship, build trust, and support emotional growth within your family.

These 60-minute sessions can be arranged weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, offering flexible support that works around your family’s needs.

During our work together, we focus on:

• Understanding your child’s behaviour and underlying emotional needs
   
• Recognising and managing your emotional triggers and responses
   
• Building emotional literacy and self-awareness
   
• Strengthening connection and communication with your child
   
• Reducing conflict and supporting regulation during times of stress or change
   

Whether you are navigating everyday challenges, emotional dysregulation, or a significant life transition, these sessions combine therapeutic insight with practical parenting strategies — helping you to foster a secure, nurturing home environment where your child can thrive.
