Parenting & Family Services

What is it?

The LightHouse Arabia is committed to supporting parents who wish to be more conscious and authentic in their parenting. Our Parenting and Family Services offerings deliver comprehensive psychological, psychiatric, counseling, and coaching services to parents and families, related to the entire range of mental health difficulties.

Who is it for?

Our aim is to offer our specialist knowledge to the parents and families of our community in order to best serve their wellbeing and to support in actualising their hopes and potential for their lives. As we collectively continue to face a global youth mental health crisis, an increase in children’s technology usage, and live in an age of distraction and overload, the call to be more authentically-attuned as parents arises. Our expert team of clinicians work closely with parents and children on family matters, equipping them with the necessary skills to increase self-awareness, understand emotional triggers, as well as cultivate emotional intelligence (EQ) in children. 
 

Issues we support with:

• Adoption 

• Caregiver burnout

• Domestic violence

• Family conflict

• Parental mental health

• Post-natal anxiety/depression

• Parents returning to work

• Separation/Divorce

• Sibling Rivalry
