The Empowered Parent with Dr Lucy
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting and while generic advice in a book or online might work in some situations, sometimes you need a bit more. Strategies that are tailored to you and your unique family set up. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need reassurance, I’m here to help.
Parenting comes with its fair share of challenges, and sometimes, no matter how much we try, things just don’t seem to get easier. If you’re feeling frustrated, or unsure of how to move forward, you’re not alone. The Empowered Parent support packages are designed to help you navigate a range of struggles with evidence-based and compassionate strategies.
Challenges I Can Support With
Managing Big Emotions
When families are experiencing frequent challenges with navigating big feelings of anger, sadness and overwhelm, I work with them to understand what is driving the behaviour. Through this, we can develop tools to support our children develop skills and reduce the impact on the whole family.
Differences in Parenting Approaches
For many families, there are differences in the way caregivers approach raising children; this can cause tension and stress. If you want space to make sense of this, I can help!
Setting Boundaries
You know that setting boundaries is good for your child’s development but you worry about the lasting impact of being rigid at times. I’ll help you create consistent boundaries that are important to your family, that your child understands, and help you develop a connected relationship.
Defiance & Power Struggles
When every request turns into distress, it can be hard to know how to move forward. Together we can start to understand this pattern and shift the dynamic.
Separation Anxiety & Transitions
Starting nursery, school, or leaving your child with a caregiver can be more challenging for some children. We can develop an understanding of what is going on for you and your child, and develop strategies to make transitions smoother and help your child feel more secure.
Eating Difficulties
If mealtimes are stressful, I can help you to understand what’s going on for your child and develop a less distressing relationship with food.
School Based Challenges
Whether your child is struggling with learning, friendships, bullying or something else, I can help you navigate these challenges.
Sibling Dynamics
If your children are constantly fighting, I’ll help you foster connection to create a more peaceful home.
Bedtime Battles
Although I don’t offer sleep consultations, I can help with the emotional and behavioural side of bedtime. Soothing worries, reducing resistance, and making evenings less stressful is the underlying goal!
Building Confidence & Independence
If your child struggles with self-esteem, frustration, or new experiences, I can help you nurture their confidence and encourage independence in a way that feels safe and supportive.
This is not a limited list. Every family is unique, and my goal is to provide tailored support that works for your child, your parenting style, and your family dynamic.
