Online counselling

Counselling for the pressures of parenting

I offer online counselling for the pressures of parenting to adults across the UK, by video call or telephone. Sessions last 60 minutes and cost £60, and the first step is a free 20 minute consultation.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding and one of the most challenging things we do. Counselling offers a space to reflect on your experience as a parent without judgement. I'm Rowena, a BACP-registered counsellor supporting adults across the UK, online.

You don't have to carry this on your own.

Parenting brings up everything. Old wounds, unresolved feelings about our own childhoods, fears about getting it wrong, and the relentless demands of caring for another person while managing our own emotional lives. It's a lot to carry.

Many parents feel they should be coping better than they are. Counselling is not about judging your parenting. It's about supporting you as a person, so you can be more of who you want to be in the relationship with your children.

We might explore your own childhood and how it shapes your parenting, work through a specific challenge you're facing, or simply create space for the parts of parenting that are genuinely hard. All of this is valid.

You might recognise some of these

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenting
  • Worrying that your own childhood is affecting how you parent
  • Difficulty managing your emotions around your children
  • Guilt or shame about parenting choices or reactions
  • Challenges with a particular stage, a toddler, a teenager, an adult child
  • Postnatal depression or anxiety

Wherever you are in the UK, sessions take place online by video call or telephone, so we can meet at a time and in a space that feels right for you. Each session lasts 60 minutes, usually weekly for the first six weeks to help build a trusting working relationship.

I work with adults aged 18 and over and follow the BACP Ethical Framework for good practice.

Hi, I'm Rowena, an integrative counsellor in Surrey. I work with adults who are facing a wide range of challenges, whether it's anxiety, relationship struggles, feeling stuck, or navigating grief and loss. Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, especially when you're trying to push through alone. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can pause, be heard, and begin to make sense of what you're feeling.

As an integrative counsellor, I don't believe one size fits all. I draw on different approaches to shape our sessions around what works best for you.

As well as being a counsellor, I'm also a certified transitional life coach, and I help people navigate life's changes with clarity, courage, and confidence. Whether you're stepping into the unknown or stepping up into your full potential, I offer one-to-one coaching tailored to your unique journey.

So, if you're going through a life transition that I can help you with, contact me today to book your free 20 minute discovery call. Let's get you to a place of clarity, confidence, and moving forward.

You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Choose a time that suits you and take that first step. If it feels easier, you can start with a free 20-minute telephone consultation, a simple, no-pressure conversation to help you decide what's right for you.
