Parenting Consultancy
Parenting coach and child & family psychologist
About
Carine Kielstra is a child and family psychologist who works with parents on the things that wear a family down: mealtimes, bedtimes, screen-time rows, tantrums, or a child struggling at school. She builds a plan with you rather than handing over a rulebook, drawing on Triple P, CBT, ACT and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, with a particular focus on expat families and teenage depression. Sessions take place online, at your home, at her practice or at the International School of Amsterdam, in English or Dutch.
