Parenting & Emotional Wellbeing: Finding Your Way Through the Hard Days

Oxford Learning and Four Wings Psychology are proud to collaborate in creating space for parents to better understand how to support their children—starting with their own emotional wellbeing.

Parenting can be one of life’s greatest joys—and one of its greatest challenges. As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Sarah has supported many adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked closely with parents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted.

While parenting brings deep love and meaning, it can also surface emotional struggles, especially when layered with past trauma, ongoing stress, or health concerns. These challenges often shape our day-to-day experiences, relationships, and how we show up for our children.

In this session, we’ll explore the emotional and mental health challenges many parents face. I’ll share practical, evidence-based strategies to manage anxiety and mood, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of purpose—even when life feels heavy.

This is a supportive, not clinical, space. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your emotional patterns and simple, sustainable tools to help you move forward—both for yourself and for your family.

Let’s make room for honesty, self-compassion, and growth—because parents deserve care too.
