What is Parenting Counselling?

There are days when parenting is genuinely difficult. Days when the strategies that used to work no longer do, when conflicts keep recurring, and you feel like you’re constantly “putting out fires”.


It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s what happens when you’re trying to do the right thing, without necessarily having someone to bounce ideas off.


Far from being a “ready-made solution”, this is a safe space for listening and professional guidance, focused on your reality.

What is the aim of Parenting Counselling?

Parenting Counselling sessions aim to listen, guide, support and provide practical tools so that you can raise your child with greater confidence in your day-to-day life.

If any of these situations sound familiar…

  • My child has constant tantrums and I no longer know how to react
  • They spend hours in front of a screen and every time I try to limit it, there’s a row

    At school they say they’re difficult, but at home I don’t know how to handle them either
  • They struggle to fall asleep on their own and it’s wearing the whole family down
    At school they say they’re difficult, but at home I don’t know how to handle them either

  • Since the separation, his behaviour has changed
  • I have two children and the rivalry between them is constant
  • I feel that punishment doesn’t work but I don’t know what else to do
  • I’ve read about strategies to resolve this, but when I try them at home, nothing works

…we’re here to help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my child to the session?

No. 

The sessions are for you, as a parent or caregiver.

How many sessions are needed?

It depends on the situation. 

Some families find resolution in 1-2 sessions; others opt for more regular support. The number of sessions should be agreed upon with the professional providing the service.

Can I have online sessions?

Yes. 

Online sessions are conducted via video call (Google Meet), at the same price as in-person sessions.

Is this service different from Clinical Psychology consultations?

Yes. 

Parental Counseling focuses on supporting parents; while Clinical Psychology directly supports the child or adolescent. 

For children and adolescents who are already receiving Clinical Psychology support from us, Parental Counseling sessions can be integrated into the therapeutic process. However, for those who do not yet have clinical support, this service can be an excellent starting point.

What is the cost of a Parental Counseling session?

The cost of a Parental Counseling session may vary depending on the number of sessions booked, the payment method, and whether you have insurance coverage. For a more accurate estimate, please contact us.

What other families are saying

My daughter had a lot of anxiety that was even affecting her at school level but thanks to this treatment she improved immensely. This would be very noticeable in school and it does not seem the same. I recommend.

I really liked the accompaniment. What we want to improve is always taken into account and affects us the most. I am a completely different person, much calmer and more focused. Neurofeedback makes all the difference! I strongly advise those who manage to get green for this type of treatment

I liked it from the care to the treatment, my son is 8 years old suffers from anxiety and has attention deficit. With the help of neurofeedback you can already control your anxiety, you are calmer and more confident and your attention has improved a lot.

I found a friend at the NeuroImprove Clinic when I was already desperate because all the doors were closing for my son. Today he is a teenager with friends and a super normal life, and with a very strong self-esteem. This achievement of mine is due to this magnificent clinic that has a team of excellent professionals.

Fantastic clinic and team and always looking for agenda solutions and helping the children in this case my daughter. I highly recommend coming to Porto from Lisbon because the confidence is maximum and the support, the professionalism of the teams, the way they explain the progress of the sessions can only give improvements..

It's been a very positive experience. Although there are not many sessions yet, we have already noticed differences in our son. We always give feedback in all sessions and we have the opportunity to follow the results with the evaluations made before, during and after the program. Thank you all, they are an excellent team.

I noticed a lot of differences in my son, namely in his behavior, more in relation to me, that we were with authority problems, but thank goodness he has corrected! And if I eventually need treatment again, this is where I will go for sure! Many thanks to the whole team always ready to help, and Dra. Beatriz for all the support and affection given throughout our journey! Thank you all at NeuroImprove 🙏❤️
