"Heart of the Matter" - 6 Step Parenting Program
For Parents of Primary School Children
What will I get out of doing this Program?
At the core of this program is the heart to heart relating you can have with your children. When you nurture the resilience of your children’s Innate Morality they will have a strong sense of themselves that will assist them to navigate challenging life experiences as they grow. This is an investment in your child’s future sense of themselves and their own nature.
The one thing that every parent wants is to see that their kids are going to be ok as they grow up, and move out into their adult lives.
Whether you are having the ordinary challenges of parenting, or have deeper issues to face as a family, such as: Addictions, Mental Illness, Domestic Violence, Chronic Serious Illness…, this program has a unique and profound but simple pathway.
There is no expert advice.
This program will take you through a series of steps and through self-exploration and discovery you will get the tools to achieve self-confidence as a parent according to your own values.This Program will show you how to cut through the clutter, compliance and confusion that parents frequently experience when there are challenges and conflicts.
Our intention is for you to parent from your own heart and mind.
This is the best investment you will ever make..
Who are the team that developed the Program?
This program has been compiled over a period of years by a small but greatly experienced team of clinical psychotherapists, psychologists, and relationship counsellors.
Between us we have the accumulated experience of a century of clinical practice in our community as well as all the knowledge that comes from our own lives as parents and grandparents.
One of the greatest learnings from this experience has been that rather than telling people what to do in the struggles of their lives, it is more important, and long lasting, to inspire people to come to their own solutions. Solutions that they can embrace wholeheartedly because they come from their own heart and minds.

Program Options and Pricing
Note:
There are currently no Medicare rebates for family therapy. A course in family therapy is an expensive & time consuming process (which may or may not work).
For $ 195 you are getting the wisdom of 4 highly experienced therapists who know what the ups and downs of family life look like.
Because you are doing this program in your own time, in your own home, in your own private space, you are investing in a program based on self identification and not the rules of "good behaviour".
The rewards of investing in this program are that you will be able to rely on it for the rest of your life.

Freebie
The purpose of our Freebie is to give you a taste of our program, which is focused on self-discovery.
Where did you develop your concepts about authority and discipline, and how well do they work?
Our program has been inspired by the work of D.W.Winnicott (Paediatrician & Psychoanalyst in the British Independent School, whose work with parents and children became internationally recognised). Winnicott stated that compliance is Immoral.
Compliance, for example political correctness, is a common feature of our contemporary life. D.W. Winnicott named compliance as immoral, and an impediment to wholehearted relationships.
It is not the same as compromise.
If you are interested in our programme and how it works, it is important to know that we are not here to tell you how to raise your children.
The programme works accumulatively. It can be done in your own private time, away from any need to self-censor. Everyone has difficulties in their family life. Some things work, and some don’t, so no need for self-recriminations.
Our program will show you how to soften the edges of family repeats, giving you tools to respond from your own values, discovering what you really think and feel, and give you the tools to nurture the resilience of innate morality in your family life
