Supporting Your Growth Through Anxiety and Stress Management
At Parents & Beyond, we believe every journey deserves understanding, especially when it comes to anxiety and stress management.
Were You Born to Be a Parent?
We don’t always know what we’re doing as parents. We think we don’t want to educate our children like our parents, or we unconsciously educate our children like our parents. We are here to empower you and assist you in becoming a better “team” with your children.
We believe that, even after so many years, Alfred Adler’s philosophy is still relevant and beneficial to so many families around the world!
We want to give parents the tools they need to become the parents they’ve always wanted to be.
Our Vision
To create a world where every individual, parent, and family, regardless of cultural background or life circumstance feels seen, supported, and empowered to grow. We envision a future where compassionate, accessible, and culturally sensitive mental health and parenting support is a norm, not a privilege.

Hi, I’m Vered – and this space was born from my own lived experience of overwhelm, survival, and rebuilding.
When I first became a mum, I was anxious, exhausted, and constantly in survival mode. At the time, I didn’t really understand what I was going through — only now, looking back, do I realise how much I carried, and how disconnected I felt from myself. It’s almost like watching a movie where I wasn’t fully present as the main character.
My passion originally began with parenting. I studied at the Adler Institute, became a parenting coach, and believed that learning parenting skills would be the answer. But life took me in a different direction.
My marriage broke down, I was living overseas without support, and I found myself struggling emotionally and financially in ways I never expected.
In those years, I learned a powerful truth:
It’s not just about parenting — it’s about the parent.
About the person behind the role.
About their wellbeing, identity, and emotional strength.
Sam offers deep understanding shaped by the recognition that life can be difficult, disorienting, and, at times, overwhelming. He knows that such conditions can give rise to thoughts or behaviours that may not serve our well-being—yet often make sense within their lived context.
Drawing on academic formation spanning science, laboratory medicine, psychology, and counselling—as well as diverse life experience—Sam brings a grounded and compassionate presence into the counselling space. He supports individuals in making sense of their mental life and offers a safe, respectful environment in which people can explore what changes may support a more coherent, purposeful, and connection-filled life.
