The Gentle Counsellor Podcast can be found everywhere!
The Gentle Counsellor Podcast, hosted by Crystal Hardstaff, a counsellor and parenting educator, this podcast is here to support you through the emotional ups and downs of perinatal mental health, parenting, and self-identity.
This space is for real, honest conversations about the challenges of early parenthood, raising children, and prioritising your mental wellbeing. Whether you’re navigating the newborn stage, toddlerhood, older years, or balancing the journey of motherhood with your personal identity, you’ll find meaningful insights, relatable personal stories, and practical tools to help you feel more empowered.
Topics range from parenting education to mental health topics. Join me as we explore how to nurture your mental health, cultivate connection, and raise confident, resilient children, all while honouring the person you are beyond your role as a parent.
