Childcare, Family Support and Therapeutic Guidance
Emily McElhatton MA, BSc. Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling For Children, Adolescents and Their Families
A Qualified Child Therapist and Professional Nanny.
Supporting children and families, through nurturing childcare, emotional understanding, and practical family support.
What I Offer
-
Flexible childcare with a deeper understanding of children and families.
Therapeutic Nannying is an ad-hoc childcare service for families looking for trusted, professional support from an experienced childcare practitioner with over 10 years of experience working with children and a qualification in child and adolescent therapy.
Whether you need daytime support, evening childcare, school holiday cover, or an extra pair of hands during busy periods, this service provides dependable childcare on a first-come, first-served basis.
-
Practical, compassionate support for parents navigating the challenges of family life.
Parenting does not come with a manual, and every child is unique. Parent consultations provide a space to discuss concerns, explore challenges, and gain insight into your child's emotional, social, and developmental needs.
Drawing upon my experience in childcare, child development, family systems, and child and adolescent therapy, consultations are designed to help parents better understand what may be happening beneath a child's behaviour while identifying practical strategies that can be implemented at home.
Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply looking for guidance and reassurance, consultations offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to reflect, problem-solve, and develop confidence in your parenting approach.
-
Supporting families through the everyday challenges of raising children.
Family life can be rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between school, routines, behaviour challenges, emotional wellbeing, technology, friendships, and busy schedules, many parents find themselves carrying a significant mental and emotional load.
Family Support is designed to provide practical, personalised support that helps families create calmer, more connected home environments.
Drawing upon my background in childcare, child development, family systems, and child and adolescent therapy, I work alongside families to better understand challenges, identify strengths, and implement realistic strategies that support both children and parents.
