Frequently Asked Questions:

Ans :  No referral is required for parenting coaching at CPC Clinics. Parents can self-refer by booking a free consultation or contacting the clinic directly. During your initial conversation, you and the therapist discuss your concerns, your child’s age, and what you hope will be different. Together, you decide whether parenting coaching is the right fit or if another CPC service may be more appropriate.

Ans :

 Most parenting coaching sessions are primarily with parents or caregivers. This can reduce pressure on children and give you space to reflect and practise new strategies. In some cases, your therapist may invite an older child or teen to join part of a session when it supports communication or shared plans. You and your therapist will talk through what feels supportive and developmentally appropriate.

Ans : Parenting coaching focuses on building your skills, insight, and confidence as a parent. Your child does not need to be present for you to make meaningful change at home. Family therapy typically involves multiple family members in the room and focuses on relationship patterns between them. Your child’s individual therapy focuses on their experience and goals. Parenting coaching can complement both by helping you reinforce skills and create a home environment that supports progress.

Ans : Parenting coaching is one piece of a larger support network. It does not replace school services, medical care, or crisis support. Your therapist can help you understand how coaching fits alongside existing services and how to communicate with professionals involved in your child’s care. If you are ever worried about immediate risk or safety, emergency services or crisis lines are still the first step.

Ans : The number of sessions depends on your goals, your child’s needs, and how often you would like to meet. Some parents find a handful of sessions helpful for a specific concern, while others prefer ongoing support as their child grows. Your therapist will check in regularly about progress and adjust the plan with you. You are always welcome to return for booster sessions when new stages or challenges arise.

Ans : Yes. CPC Clinics offers secure online parenting coaching for parents and caregivers living in Calgary and across Alberta. Virtual sessions can be especially helpful for busy schedules, rural families, and parents who prefer support from home. Your therapist will help you decide whether online, in-person, or a blend of both fits best with your family’s needs.

1. Attachment-Based Parenting:

What It Is :

Parenting coaching at CPC Clinics is grounded in the idea that connection comes before correction. Sessions focus on understanding your child’s emotional world, building secure attachment, and using warmth and attunement to reduce behaviour struggles. You learn how to repair after conflict, respond to missteps without shame, and create a home environment where your child feels safe enough to cooperate and grow.

Key Benefits:

  • You build a stronger emotional connection with your child, focusing on trust and safety, which reduces behavioural resistance and promotes cooperation.

  • You learn how to resolve conflicts with warmth and empathy, fostering an environment where your child feels safe and supported to grow emotionally.

2. CBT and Behaviour Strategies for Families:

What It Is :

Your therapist integrates cognitive behavioural and behaviour-based tools into everyday family life. This can include predictable routines, visual schedules, reward systems, and clear expectations that match your child’s developmental level. You learn how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected and how small changes in structure and responses can reduce outbursts, anxiety, and conflict over time.

Key Benefits:

  • You create a predictable environment that enhances emotional regulation and reduces conflict, making daily family life more manageable.

  • By understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, small adjustments in structure and responses help reduce anxiety, outbursts, and tension.

3. Emotion Coaching and Co-Regulation:

What It Is :

Parenting coaching helps you notice, name, and normalize feelings, both for yourself and your child. You practise simple scripts and co-regulation strategies that help de-escalate meltdowns and shutdowns. Instead of getting pulled into arguments, you learn to stay grounded, offer calm guidance, and model healthy coping. Over time, your child begins to develop their own language and tools for managing big feelings.

Key Benefits:

  • You and your child develop a shared emotional language that fosters better communication and emotional regulation in challenging moments.

  • By practising co-regulation techniques, you model healthy emotional coping for your child, helping them build tools for managing their emotions in the long term.

4. Collaborative Problem Solving and Communication Skills:

What It Is :

Many families feel stuck in the same arguments about homework, chores, or screens. In parenting coaching, you and your therapist identify patterns and practise collaborative problem solving. You learn how to listen for unmet needs, invite your child into age-appropriate conversations, and build solutions together. This approach reduces blame, increases cooperation, and helps everyone feel more like a team.

Key Benefits:

  • Collaborative problem-solving reduces power struggles and conflict, promoting cooperation and shared decision-making in your family.

  • Improved communication skills lead to more effective, age-appropriate conversations, where everyone feels heard, respected, and involved in the process.

5. Psychoeducation and Home Plans:

What It Is :

Sessions include clear, accessible information about development, nervous systems, and neurodiversity so you can better understand what your child is experiencing. You leave with step-by-step home plans to try between sessions, tailored to your goals and your child’s capacities. Each session includes space to reflect on what worked, what did not, and how to adjust without expecting perfection.

Key Benefits:

  • You gain a deeper understanding of your child’s development and needs, allowing you to respond with more empathy and clarity.

  • Tailored home plans give you actionable steps to implement between sessions, ensuring progress and reflection without the pressure of perfection.
