Therapy for Parents
Specialist therapeutic support for parents
Supporting an adolescent or young adult through emotional difficulties can be challenging, exhausting and at times overwhelming.
At Bright Fox, we recognise that parents need support too.

Therapy or Coaching?
Therapy explores what sits beneath the surface
Parent coaching focuses on practical strategies, communication skills and helping families move towards specific goals.
