Meet Clare
Clare Rowe is a Sydney based psychologist.
She has gained a reputation for parenting support that makes sense, is practical and actually works. She sits uncomfortably with the label of “parenting expert” as she thinks that there is already too many of those! In fact, parents need to get back aligned with their own innate instinct to support, love and provide boundaries for their children (and stop listening to the parenting police on Facebook groups!)
Clare believes that many of today’s diagnoses of children are due to the pace and overwhelm of our modern world and loves working with parents to slow down, simplify and connect.
But don’t worry – there are no fluffy-kumbaya mantras here! She’s down to earth and a realist who understands that trying to get kids to do what you need them to do is blood-boiling, soul-destroying impossible at times!
Oh and don’t forget to always validate your kids feelings, feed them organic food in bento boxes, keep them away from screens and fit in your own daily meditation… yeah right!
Clare heads an awesome group of like-minded professionals at Rowe & Associates, a leading child and family psychology private clinic in Sydney’s southern suburbs.
She is a divorced mother of two and when she is not working, she finds her happy place with a gin and tonic and good book on the NSW South Coast or dreams of running away to the French Riviera.
