You’re definitely not alone - parenting can bring out every emotion under the sun (sometimes all before breakfast ☀️).

That’s why I created my free Survival Guide for Parents - a simple, practical resource to help you pause, reset, and respond with more calm and compassion.

✨ Because you deserve support too.

"The tools April shared with me, were simple yet so effective, and appropriate for what I could cope with at the time. I've since embedded them and will use them to help me manage stressful situations that may inevitably arise in the future."

As a Clinical Psychologist, I witnessed countless parents feeling unsupported and judged while trying to help their children. It wasn’t until I became a mother that I truly understood the enormity of parenthood.

Even as a professional, the transition to parenthood overwhelmed me. How can you prioritise yourself when juggling endless demands, especially when battling anxiety or depression?

At Parental Psychology, we can help. Get in touch to find out more about our services.

At Parental Psychology, we know how overwhelming being a parent can feel. Parents often worry about being judged, they’re riddled with guilt and worried about whether their doing the right thing for their child. When you’re in the thick of it, it can be difficult to see the bigger picture or know where to turn.

At Parental Psychology, we’re dedicated to providing evidence-based, scientifically backed parenting support that’s practical and realistic for busy parents. We believe that supporting you as a parent has the greatest impact on your entire family, because when you thrive, your children do too.

You wouldn’t believe how often I hear this.
One of my clients recently told me they’d been so nervous before their first session - they’d never spoken to a therapist before and weren’t sure what it would feel like to open up to someone new.

But as they shared later, they needn’t have worried.

They told me that from the moment we began, they felt safe, comfortable, and able to be vulnerable. They described our sessions as flowing naturally, with seamless segues and gentle guidance — something that meant a lot to them as they settled into the process.

Their words stayed with me:

“I was nervous at first, but April is so warm and approachable. Thank you, April.”

If you’re feeling hesitant about starting therapy, please know this: it’s completely okay to feel that way. Many people do. And my job is to create a space where you can feel held, understood, and supported at your own pace.

You don’t have to do this alone. ❤️

The holiday season is magical… but let’s be real, it can also be emotionally exhausting. 🎄✨ Between sugar highs, late nights, and constant togetherness, meltdowns are bound to happen - and honestly, who doesn’t have an emotional reaction to them? We’re biologically wired to respond (it’s called attachment) so we keep our kids safe. Amazing… but also exhausting.

Here are 4 ways to cope when your patience is running thin after the holiday chaos:

🔹 Notice your triggers - what situations set you off most?
🔹 Track your reactivity - is there a time of day you always snap?
🔹 Plan ahead - snacks, routines, tiny tweaks can make life easier.
🔹 Pause - remind yourself: this isn’t an emergency. Shake it off, breathe, hum… then respond calmly.

It’s not about perfection - it’s about pausing, practicing, and remembering: your child is doing their best, and they need your help. 💛
