You want to raise an emotionally healthy, confident child. You want to be the calm, connected parent who your child trusts for support with challenges in childhood and beyond...
But constant demands make it hard to show up the way you want.
You might wonder...
Why do I keep losing my patience and reacting in ways I know aren’t helpful?
How do I connect and be present with my child when I feel exhausted and stressed?
Am I doing enough to support my child’s emotional development and their confidence?
How do I sort through all the advice out there when I’m feeling so overwhelmed trying to do it all right?
How do I break patterns and cycles without burning out in the process?
You don't need to do it alone...
Hi! I'm Natalie Stokes
I can help
I'm a Melbourne-based psychologist offering convenient, online help. I support parents of 0 - 12 year olds to put their big picture goals of raising confident, resilient, emotionally intelligent children into daily action by guiding them how to nurture connection, compassion, and a sense of security.
My goal is for parents to walk away feeling clear on what their child needs, confident in how to respond, skilled in staying regulated when their child isn't, and showing self-compassion.
How it works for you

Get in touch today. I’ll answer any questions you have and you can be sure we’re a good fit.

Join me for sessions in whichever format suits you and your family.

Together we’ll develop the tools you need to find clarity and confidence moving forward.
