Parenting Counselling

At the centre GIA TIN ITHAKI, Parenting Counselling is a service that aims to give parents the necessary knowledge, skills, guidance and support they need within a positive environment of empathy and understanding without criticism or prejudice. In this way, parents are appropriately empowered to give their children the necessary care and discipline.

The role of being a parent is perhaps one of the most beautiful roles we adopt in our lives and, at the same time, one of the most demanding. Nobody is born for this difficult task and unfortunately children do not come to the world with a user’s manual! The responsibilities that burden parents are innumerable. While they have to take care of their children’s emotional, physical and material needs, they also have to meet their own personal needs.

Very often the multiple roles, tasks and requirements of modern life lead to mismanagement and burn-out. In turn, parents become more susceptible to problems that may affect the way they manage their parental role, in particular how they care for and attend to the emotional needs of their children and their proper parenting.

At our psychotherapy centre, we offer various therapeutic and counselling approaches for both children and parents themselves. With Parenting Counselling, we help parents gain a better understanding of their parenting approach, make major revisions where necessary, gain more self-awareness by addressing their own personal issues, and even restore disturbed harmony, balance and calmness in the family. Parenting Counselling can be done independently or in combination with the individual treatment of the child or adolescent.
