Parenting Programme

---

Parenting can feel overwhelming at times.  

A parenting program based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This evidence-informed program combines mindfulness, practical strategies, and behavioural approaches to help parents respond confidently to challenging behaviours and strengthen their relationship with their child. 

 Parents of children aged 3–11 needing support with:

• Temper outbursts
• Arguing
• Difficulty following instructions 
• Burnout
• Frustration or emotional reactivity (impulsivity, organisation)
• Impulsive or challenging behaviour (including ADHD) 

•  Virtual sessions with Dr Ayesha, 6–8 sessions
• Children do not attend
• Both parents encouraged to join (exceptions for single-parent households).

•  Strengthen parent–child bonds
• Stay calm in difficult moments
•  Encourage positive behaviour
•  Set clear limits and routines
• Parent in line with personal values
• Respond consistently to behaviours 

 This programme focuses on behavioural strategies and emotional support. It is particularly helpful for families of children with ADHD or related challenges.

For children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) alone, more specialised one-to-one intervention may be more appropriate.

The program is led by Dr Ayesha Sadozai, a Paediatric Clinical Psychologist specialising in child and neurodevelopmental mental health. She has extensive experience supporting families with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and emotional regulation difficulties, and delivers evidence-based ACT interventions.
