When you need more
Counselling for your child —
and for you, too.
If you believe your child could benefit from speaking to someone, we can help. And if you yourself are beginning to notice places you haven't fully healed — patterns you'd like to understand, or wounds that quietly shape how you parent — please don't carry that alone either.
Laurie works alongside registered counsellors offering remote sessions for both adults and children, tailored to the themes we write about: rejection, anxiety, identity, friendship struggles, confidence, and the parts of your own story that still ache.
Get in touch and we'll personally introduce you to someone qualified, warm and right for your situation. Nothing is shared publicly.
About Laurie — author of Could Never Be Me! and The Wrong Kinda Loud, mother, and a quietly determined advocate for children's emotional growth. Every counsellor she refers is one she'd trust with her own family.
