Connected Parenting
"I found my time spent with Samanta working on conscious parenting to be incredibly insightful. In changing just a few behaviours of my own at home, the energy changed for the better. As my kids responded positively it became easy to progress. The communication is better, and my kids are treating each other with genuine kindness. Thank you Samanta for your time and commitment to making a positive difference to family lives."
Parent testimonial, Connected Parenting
​
I combine my many years of experience in child psychotherapy with a connected parenting approach. Connected Parenting is an approach to raising children that focuses on building a strong emotional bond through empathy, communication, connection and trust. Instead of relying primarily on punishment or control, parents have the opportunity to prioritize understanding their child’s feelings, validating their experiences, and guiding behaviour with both compassion and clear boundaries. This style encourages open communication, emotional regulation, and mutual respect, helping children feel secure, valued, and confident while also learning responsibility and self-discipline.
​
If you feel uncertain or confused over ‘how to parent’, while also juggling screen time battles, low motivation, disrespect or high anxiety, you are not alone. At times, looking for guidance on how to be a more assured parent can feel like walking through a forest blindfolded. You can read all the books, listen to the podcasts yet still feel you’re getting it all wrong.​
​
By exploring parenting through a process of gaining awareness and building connection we’re able to shine a light onto some of the more challenging aspects of parenting. Together, we begin by exploring any ‘family baggage’ and personal conditioning which may be influencing your internal checklists of how you think parenting ‘should’ be done, and release those that don’t serve you or your family.
​
At the Parenting Support Clinic, I help you look at parenting through a new lens, where you can learn to breathe, reflect, set boundaries, find acceptance, define and become the role model you want to be for your child.
​
Children are a precious gift. I will help you find new ways to support your family, while being true to yourself, that will transform your experience of parenthood. My role as a Connected Parenting Guide is to support you to develop a unique vision for your family’s future, with space for more harmony, more respect, and more joy.
​
Parenting is tough, and it doesn’t come with a manual. I am committed, through years of private practice, self-exploration and parenting, to co-creating successful outcomes for both parents and children alike. A child's behavior is communication; parents just sometimes need support with translating it.
​
My role is to guide you along the Connected Parenting pathway, offering techniques and strategies that will support you and your child and help you achieve your desired outcomes.
