PARENT COACHING
At Bambini Health we offer parent coaching services either in clinic or online without the child in attendance. At Bambini Health we pride ourselves on family-centred care which involves the inclusion of families and carers in every stage of the therapeutic process. We regularly provide parent coaching for families requesting additional support and to assist in carryover of skills into the home environment. Parent ‘coaching’ involves the therapist as the ‘coach’ to support families in identifying, addressing, problem-solving, and overcoming barriers and challenges they may identify. The therapist works closely with the family to recommend and trial strategies to support the family unit and provides the family with opportunities to discuss their goals without the presence of their child.
