We are experienced in treating the impact of attachment wounds in childhood, also known as Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). When left untreated, adverse events in childhood can impact on many parts of adulthood, including relationships, work and life satisfaction, self-confidence, and overall well-being. Untreated CEN can result in a number of psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, disordered eating, personality vulnerabilities, and compulsive and addictive behaviours. Our aim at Child & Family Matters is to repair wounds acquired in childhood so that they do not go on to repeat in future generations (intergenerational trauma).
Repair of these wounds involve a deep exploration of self to discover innate strengths that can assist with challenges in life. This may include the enhancement of the relationship between caregivers and children. We welcome all individuals and all families in this empowering journey.
We work with parents and children requiring pre and post-separation support, perinatal and postnatal parenting support, counselling for the adjustment to life changes and treatment for trauma.
We are child, adolescent and adult focused counsellors, psychologists and family therapists who have acquired diverse clinical experiences from working in a range of settings. We believe helping children meet their developmental potential enhances the individual and collective well-being of families.
