Family Therapy
​​
What is Family Therapy?
​​
Families are constantly changing and experiencing transitions, these adjustments can be difficult for each person within the family. Family Therapy provides a safe space for family members to begin to be able to express themselves and feel heard by the other people within the family.
​
As a family therapist, I believe that relationship difficulties are circular with each individual influencing the other. Family therapy is a space that allows individuals to explore family dynamics and develop different ways of relating to one another, ultimately promoting better emotional and relational health.
Who We Help?
​
Family therapy can be attended by the whole family, couples or a single member of a family. Family therapy can support with:
- Parenting Issues;
- Family Relationship Difficulties;
- Child and Adolescent Behaviour;
- Stuck Issues;
- Changes in Family Life; and
- Supporting Members of a Blended Family ​
Therapeutic Approaches:
​
Family therapy is grounded in systemic frameworks, recognising that each individual is influenced by the relationships that they share with others in the family. This approach creates a supportive space for families to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, helping to identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Through open dialogue and guided reflection, family therapy aims to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and foster a deeper understanding of each other's needs and perspectives.
​
What to Expect:
​
Family Session may focus on exploring each person's perspective of the issue, identifying interactional patterns and roles within the family as well as understanding communication styles. Every family member is given space to share their experiences in a supportive and non-judgement environment.
​​
Together, we work to create a shared understanding or family narrative of the challenges that you and your family are facing. Thus providing families with greater clarity, compassion, and direction. ​​​​
​​​​​
Families may choose to engage in a single session consultation as they may want to explore a topic which is time limited.
