Counselling for Families, Couples and Parenting


Families

Families seek support for many reasons such as:

  • changing the way family members interact
  • improving the functioning of the family as a unit
  • improving the functioning of individuals in the family
  • Family therapy is not a quick and easy solution as requires time and effort to produce results. For those families willing to put the time into change, wonderful outcomes are possible.

    Couples

    Many couples come to therapy because they are in a relationship that is not working well. They may not be communicating effectively, maybe fighting constantly or experiencing other problems.

    One or both partners may need help deciding whether to stay in a relationship, may need support coming to terms with a recent seperation or want to learn how to avoid similar problems in the future.

    Therapy can help each partner identify their difficulties, improve communication, stop the blaming and resentment and find solutions. Research indicates couples counselling is more successful when help is sought early.

The sessions may target a specific areas such as, tantrums or sleeping issues, or have a more holistic approach such as setting effective boundaries.
