Consultation

One to One Appointment

Amanda offers specialised guidance and psychoeducation for:


  • Family members impacted by coercive parent-child dynamics, alienating behaviours, or parental child abduction
  • Practitioners working with families navigating these high-conflict and complex situations
     

Through lived experience, research, and trauma-informed practice, Amanda provides clarity and insight into the patterns that harm children and fracture families. Her sessions are grounded in compassion, evidence, and a deep understanding of the nuanced dynamics at play.


Sessions include support with:

  • Understanding coercive and alienating behaviours (including indoctrination, emotional manipulation, trauma bonding, and learned behaviours)
  • The impact on children, parents, and extended family
  • Coping strategies for targeted parents and protective family members
  • What to avoid when navigating family breakdown, conflict, or legal processes
  • Preparing for safe and meaningful reunification or reintegration
  • Rebuilding relationships after alienation
  • Documenting and presenting family dynamics to professionals
  • Accessing current research and resources tailored to your situation
     

Please note:
There are situations where direct contact between a parent and child may not be possible due to safety concerns or legal restrictions (e.g., court or protection orders). These sessions can still support your understanding, planning, and readiness for possible reconnection in the future, if and when circumstances allow.


Amanda does not provide legal advice or crisis intervention.


For urgent support, please contact one of the Australian crisis services listed below.
