Family therapy

Family Therapy is a form of counselling, in a supportive setting, that enables families and couples to understand how their relationships can be both the cause and the solution to issues affecting them.

​Family therapy helps family members, couples and others who care about each other to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, to understand each other’s experiences and points of view, appreciate each other’s needs and build on family strengths to make changes.

We believe that every family member has a valuable role in the family system. So, working with the entire family is the best way to help those affected by emotional, mental health or behavioural issues.

Family therapy is considered a highly effective approach in the prevention and treatment of emotional and behavioural problems in childhood and adolescence.
 
Who can benefit from family therapy?
The family can be both a great source of support for people but also a source of distress, misunderstanding and pain. Therefore family therapy and systemic practice is important whenever the aim is to enhance the ability of family members to support each other.

Enabling family members to use their resources more efficiently in a supportive way can be vital in helping members manage transitional stages of family development or stressful life events such as a serious illness or a death of a family member.
