Parenting Guilt

Letting Go of Parenting Guilt: You’re Doing Better Than You Think

Feeling guilty as a parent? You’re not alone. Whether it’s screen time, shouting, or just not feeling “present enough”, parenting guilt is one of the most common issues I hear from mums and dads in therapy.

We all want to do our best but parenting doesn’t come with a manual. The pressure to “get it right” can leave you anxious, overwhelmed, and doubting yourself.

Here’s the truth:

• Guilt often means you care deeply

• Mistakes don’t make you a bad parent – they make you human

• Therapy can help you understand and reframe these feelings

As a therapist supporting parents in Cork city, I help people break free from guilt, reconnect with their own needs, and enjoy parenting again.

Ready to feel like yourself again?
