Angie is the founder of Reflective Haven, she wanted to create a space that would help parents of children with type 1 diabetes, to share their fears with someone, to have a warm atmosphere to share their diagnosis story. To support parents to reflect and understand their parenting triggers, so they can live a life with less anxiety. To teach and connect awareness to mind and body so they can gain more control of their thoughts, feelings and be a conscious, mindful parent. To talk with someone that understands Type 1 diabetes and the complexity this can bring to life. This service offers all sessions via zoom and phone so you can have sessions in the comfort of your own home anywhere in Australia.
The early years are important to build a foundation of good mental health. At times life circumstances can cause anxiety, sadness, and anger outbursts for children. These can get concerning depending on the frequency and the impact on their life. Parent counselling early into a problem can be easier to shift so don’t wait. We can teach your child strategies to deal with these big emotions to help guide them and help them make sense of a stressful event.
Reflective Haven can provide you with a space that is about you and a path to guide you in decreasing anxiety, depression or seeking parenting strategies for a more harmonious home. Its normal to not feel yourself at times, especially during the current extraordinary times we face.
