How Brendan works
Brendan draws on parent management training and family systems therapy. He tries out ideas with you in the session, and you decide what fits your home. He does not promise a number of sessions.
What sessions look like
Parent sessions
You and Brendan talk through what you are seeing, and practice ways to respond.
Whole-family sessions
Everyone who comes is asked what they want from the session, and Brendan keeps the conversation fair.
Working with the clinician
When your child sees a clinician here, Brendan can help you follow what is happening, within the limits of your child's privacy.
