Parent Workshops
We invite parents and carers in Waltham Forest to join any of our free, accessible workshops, designed to provide practical tips and support for children’s wellbeing. These standalone sessions offer bite-sized information, resources, and strategies tailored to help your child thrive. You’re welcome to attend as many workshops as you need—no referral required!
We host parent and carer workshops on a range of topics, such as Emotionally-Based School Non-Attendance, Talking with Teens, Sensory Processing and Wellbeing, and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). We adapt our workshops to reflect what parents and carers are experiencing, focusing on topics that are relevant and helpful to families in our local community.

What to expect
Our workshops are supportive, interactive, and led by our expert team of therapists. Before attending, you’ll receive an email with pre-workshop information to help you make the most of the session.
Each workshop is 2 hours long and provides space for reflection, group discussion, and the exchange of ideas. Many parents find comfort in connecting with others who are going through similar challenges, sharing experiences, and discovering new perspectives.
Our therapists will present evidence-based techniques, allowing you to select strategies that feel right for your family. Some sessions may include creating an action plan or a step-by-step guide to help you apply what you’ve learned at home.
After the workshop, we’ll send follow-up information with additional resources and support options.
Why We Offer Parent Workshops
As parents and carers, you know your children better than anyone. You have a deep understanding of their needs, strengths, and challenges. Our workshops are designed to give you tools and strategies that you can adapt to your child’s unique personality.
You also play a vital role in reinforcing these strategies over time, helping to build lasting habits for your child’s well-being. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and resources to be the best possible support for your child, whatever they may be facing.
What parents / carers say about us
“Helpful, practical advice that was focused on my child and our circumstances. Good to connect with other parents in similar situations and share advice/tips”
Family Therapy
For some families, getting support altogether is the best way to work towards goals and manage challenges. Difficult emotions and experiences can affect everyone in the family, and sometimes these difficulties are connected to our relationships. We can work together over 8 sessions with the whole family to set goals, problem-solve and create helpful strategies. To help our discussions, we can use games, art and any other creative ways to share our ideas and experiences.
The aim of Family Therapy is always set by the family but each person in a family might have their own different goal for the therapy. We take time to hear everyone’s opinions and experiences so that the space is helpful for everyone in the room. Your Systemic Family Practitioner will guide discussions to focus on strengths and solutions, not using blame or judgement, to help everyone make the most of the confidential space to share their unique perspective and ideas.
What to expect from family therapy
Family Therapy can feel like a new experience. It can feel unusual to discuss ideas together and talk about things that you might not usually talk about at home. We will never make you share anything that you would rather keep private. But you can use this space to ask questions of your family members, tell stories or come up with ideas together.

Family Therapy can be a helpful space to create changes in a family. Think about what you might like to do differently or change within your family. We can talk about your ideas for changes together.

When families come together for support, there may be questions, ideas or experiences you hear that surprise you. Family members might disagree about what is most important or what needs to change. That’s okay. Being open to hearing different ideas and perspectives from others in our family is part of what makes Family Therapy so useful.
