Parental/family therapy

Online 1:1 sessions applying Mindfulness and respectful parenting to face the daily challenges of raising children, with the aim of respecting each person's individuality and strengthening co-parenting and parent–child bonds

Who is it for?

For mothers, fathers, co-parenting couples and primary caregivers who:

  • Feel overwhelmed by the challenges and stress of everyday life with their children.
  • Are looking for an alternative to traditional parenting methods based on punishment or shouting.
  • Want to learn to parent from a place of calm, empathy and mutual respect.

Duration and frequency

The structure adapts to each family. Sessions last 55 minutes. They are usually scheduled weekly or every two weeks at first to give continuity to the learning, and become more spaced out (monthly or follow-up sessions) as the tools take hold at home.

What do we work on?

  • The adult’s emotional regulation: Learning to “pause” in the face of tantrums or challenges so you can respond calmly instead of reacting automatically.
  • Respect for individuality: Understanding each child’s temperament, developmental stage and unique needs.
  • Strengthening bonds: Creating effective communication channels both within the couple (the co-parenting bond), so you can speak with one voice, and with the children (the parent–child bond), to ensure secure attachment.

Shared experiences

  • “Maria's advice helped me talk to my children honestly and take responsibility for myself, so that they too can be responsible for their own life choices.”

    — Athina · Parental/family therapy
  • “…With discreet observations and suggestions, Maria tried and —despite my initial resistance— managed to make me aware of my own feelings and how they shape my reactions. This was essential for me to separate my position from my son's, and it helped me see things from his side…”

    — Efi · Parental/family therapy
  • “After talking with us, Maria managed to connect with our ten-year-old daughter in an amazing way. She built a lovely friendship that lasts to this day and taught her to face an intense phobia that had been troubling her.”

    — Lefteris · Parental/family therapy
