Parent Support & Behaviour Consultation

You Are Your Child's Best Resource

Parenting a child who experiences big emotions or behavioural challenges can be exhausting and isolating. Parent coaching isn't about telling you how to parent—it's about partnering with you to find what works for your unique family.

Leveraging her 9 years of experience in behaviour intervention as a Behaviour Interventionist and Therapist, Sheila helps parents with:

• Understanding the 'why' (function) behind challenging behaviors
• Strategies for co-regulation and de-escalation during meltdowns
• Implementing proactive routines, visual schedules, and clear boundaries
• Supporting neurodivergent (ADHD/Autism) sensory and emotional needs at home
• Self-care and managing your own parenting triggers through a trauma-informed lens

A narrative-informed lens can also support this work. Instead of asking “what is wrong with this child,” it invites curiosity about what a behaviour may be communicating and what story has built up around it — helping parents move from blame and labels toward understanding. This stays practical Parent Support & Behaviour Consultation, not a new psychotherapy service. You can learn more on our Narrative Therapy page.

When your teen is navigating big emotions, ADHD, autism, or school stress, youth and teen counselling in Port Coquitlam can work alongside parent coaching to support the whole family.

Looking for support with your own burnout, identity, guilt, or emotional wellbeing? Counselling for Mothers & Caregivers centres you, while Parent Coaching focuses more directly on practical support for your child and family routines.
