Family Therapy, or Family Counselling, is aimed at helping family members resolve underlying conflicts by improving interactions and communications amongst themselves.

It is often used when parents are considering or have already started the process of divorce or separation and want to minimise the impact of this major transition on their children. Some of the main goals of Family Therapy include helping families create effective co-parenting plans, understanding and managing common pain and stressors associated with relationship transitions, and providing support as they work through their own individual struggles while addressing changes in the dynamics and roles within their family system. 

Ultimately, Family Therapy helps families set realistic aspirations for their future, while working together to ensure that these goals remain a priority despite any challenges that they may face along the way.

Family Counselling is not the same as Couples Counselling, as it involves all members of the family to work together, communicate and improve their interaction. Family Therapy also differs from Individual Therapy as it looks at how individuals are reacting and being affected as a result of a change or an event that has affected the family as a whole.

Our approach is highly personalised, taking into account each family’s unique needs and preferences, and utilising evidenced-based treatments to ensure we give families the best opportunity to create positive change and take steps forward towards a better quality of life.
