Kim's Parents and their children Podcasts
I am a Chid & Adolescent Psychotherapist. The podcast are educational and orientated towards parents. We cover a wide range of sometimes, tricky subjects, in the hope of reassuring parents that no matter how hard things may seem, there are things you can do.
Many episodes run in parallel with our online courses for parents. These can be found at www.thechildrensconsultancy.com.
Please let others know about these free podcasts.
Thank you.
