Parent coaching is one-on-one support for you, the parent.
You know your child is capable of more. You can see it. But in the moment, when they’re spiraling or shutting down or melting down over something that feels small, knowing that doesn’t help you get through to them.
And the older they get, the harder it becomes. The social dynamics get more complex. The stakes feel higher. They’re navigating personalities and conflict and pressure, and they don’t yet have the emotional tools to handle any of it without rage, or tears, or just shutting you out completely.
You’re trying to guide them. You’re trying to stay calm when the situation doesn’t feel calm. You’re trying to say the right thing at the right moment, knowing they might not hear a word of it.
Parent coaching gives you a framework that actually works, and the skills to use it in real time, with your real child, in the moments that matter.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Parent coaching at Kiru Psychotherapy Clinic is for parents of children and teens in grades 1 through 12 who are navigating the following:
- A child whose anxiety is starting to affect school, friendships, or how they see themselves
- Emotional outbursts or shutdowns that leave you unsure how to respond without making things worse
- A child who lacks confidence, avoids challenge, or falls apart when things don’t go their way
- The growing distance that comes when your child stops coming to you with the hard stuff
- That exhausting feeling of saying all the right things and watching none of it land
If you’re located in Newmarket, Ontario and you’ve been wondering whether you’re helping or making it worse, this is the right place to start.
WHAT PARENT COACHING IS
Parent coaching at Kiru Psychotherapy Clinic is one-on-one support for you, the parent. No child in the room. Just you and a registered psychotherapist, in a focused conversation about what’s actually happening at home and what to do about it.
Because here’s what most parents don’t realize: you don’t need your child in the room to change the dynamic at home. When you understand what’s driving their behavior, and when you have a clear framework for how to respond in the moments that matter, things shift. Not overnight, but in a way that lasts.
WHAT PARENTS LEAVE WITH
The parents who come through parent coaching describe the same shift, eventually: their child starts to feel more like themselves again. More resilient. Less rattled by the hard moments. More willing to try, and more willing to come to you when they’re struggling.
They describe watching their child grow into a kind of confidence that doesn’t depend on everything going right. And knowing they played a real role in that.
That’s what we’re working toward together.
