PARENTAL SUPPORTS
As a parent, your main focus is making sure that your child grows up to be happy, healthy, successful, and independent. While this is every parent’s dream, raising children can be difficult, which is why it’s important to understand when you need a helping hand.
Here at Olive Buckley Therapy, I provide specialist counselling for parents of children with additional needs. Being a parent of a child or teenager with additional needs can be intensely rewarding but can be difficult, too, which is why I’m here to help.
My psychotherapy and counselling services are suitable for parents of children with mental health issues, behavioural issues, learning difficulties, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and other additional needs or disabilities.
By taking a holistic, client-centred approach, I work in a collaborative manner with you to provide therapy for parents that will help alleviate the stress of parenting while simultaneously giving you the space to work through your issues & worries in a safe, healthy, and constructive way.
How Can Olive Buckley Therapy Help?
As a specialist in special needs counselling services, I offer a safe, non-judgemental, and compassionate psychotherapeutic space for parents to express their worries and work through their struggles together or on an individual basis.
Whether you’re struggling with your identity as a parent or need some tips on supporting your neurodiverse child, I can help.
With a background in psychotherapy specifically for clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I can work closely with you and your family to understand, overcome, and accept a range of issues from learning difficulties and behavioural problems to physical and mental disabilities.
By giving parents a safe, comfortable, and open therapeutic space to work through their issues, I aim to enable families to overcome struggles with confidence and equip you with the tools necessary to lead a hopeful, optimistic, and positive future.

Parental Support FAQ
Do you provide counselling for both parents or just one parent at a time?
My parent counselling services can be attended by both parents together or as individual sessions. If you’re unsure of what would suit you better, feel free to get in touch.
What is parental counselling?
Parental counselling is a form of counselling that focuses specifically on the client’s role as a parent and the issues surrounding this. That being said, however, counselling is a holistic experience that blends other areas of the clients’ life into sessions in order to help the client overcome issues and struggles.
Do you provide family counselling?
Yes, I offer support to parents and teenagers on a group basis and individual bases. I do not currently offer counselling services for clients aged under 13 years.
