Parenting Support for Overwhelmed
or Struggling Parents
Therapeutic Parenting Support at WayMaker
Parenting can be one of the most rewarding journeys, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially when your child is struggling emotionally, socially, or behaviourally. At WayMaker, we provide parental support that is compassionate, practical, and rooted in therapeutic approaches, so you don’t have to have all the answers on your own.
Our sessions create a safe, non-judgmental space for parents and carers, including those seeking single parent support or lone parent support. Whether you are feeling stressed, anxious, or unsure how to respond to your child’s needs, we are here to walk alongside you with understanding and professional guidance.
Through our trauma-informed ethos and the Solihull Approach to parenting, we help you build confidence, strengthen connections with your child, and discover strategies that work for your family.

What is the Solihull to Parenting?
The Solihull Approach is a strengths-based model that helps parents feel more confident and connected with their child. It focuses on building strong relationships through emotional attunement, clear boundaries, and playful interaction. At WayMaker, we use this approach to guide parents in developing practical, nurturing strategies that work in everyday life.
Helping Your Child Hold Hard Things
Parenting isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about connection. Through therapeutic parenting and play-based techniques, we help you support your child to manage big feelings, reduce stress, and feel secure. These tools give both you and your child space to grow together with greater confidence and resilience.
Parent Support for Every Family
At WayMaker, we know that every family is different and every parent’s journey comes with its own challenges. Whether you are a single parent, part of a blended family, a lone parent, or a foster carer, you don’t have to navigate it all on your own. Our parenting support is designed to meet you where you are, offering practical tools, encouragement, and a safe space to reflect.

Parenting the Playful Way: Our Journal
Our Parenting Journal is designed as a practical companion for your journey. Inside, you’ll find guided reflections, prompts, and exercises to help you slow down, notice patterns, and connect more deeply with your child. It’s not about being a “perfect parent” it’s about having a supportive space to reflect, grow, and build stronger relationships.
This journal for parents complements our coaching and support approach, giving you simple tools you can return to again and again.

What are parents saying?
"I was really struggling with my eight-year-old son’s behaviour — he never seemed to listen, and it felt overwhelming at times. Through the Solihull Approach, Tara helped me connect with my own feelings first, and I’ve been able to introduce clear boundaries. Understanding how children’s brains develop was such a helpful part of the process, and I’ve learned not to try to fix things when my son is in a meltdown. Thank you so much for your support!"
