Parent-involved therapy for Challenging Behaviour

A parent-supported approach to reduce conflict and build stability

Children with challenging behaviour often experience underlying stress, anxiety, or difficulty regulating emotions. What looks like defiance or outbursts is often communication of need. Parent guidance is key to responding effectively and creating lasting change.

We can work together in two ways: weekly in-clinic sessions for steady skill-building or full-day in-home immersive intensives for real-time, hands-on support.

Therapeutic Approach

I use a developmentally-informed, attachment-based approach, drawing from:

Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) to support emotional expression and self-esteem
Filial Therapy to strengthen the parent-child relationship and reduce power struggles
AutPlay-informed interventions, adapted to support regulation, emotional awareness, and social understanding through play and structure
Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) to address lagging skills, reduce meltdowns, and build problem-solving capacity
