Family Therapy

Every family goes through difficulties at some time. These can be to do with adjustments to new situations, like separation, house moves, school changes, loss of someone special or transitions like the changes experienced in adolescence.

Sometimes families need support with a longer term situation like living with depression, or rebalancing, or re-connecting after a rift, or after enduring behavioural problems such as child to parent violence and abuse.

Maybe parents need support with developing a parenting approach that works for them and their families. Working together with parents and children can create collaborative conversations.

What happens in our sessions?

In the course of this work, we would meet sometimes individually and sometimes with 2 or more family members. The key is to have the right mix at the right time.

I am experienced in making young people feel at ease. I offer them the option of attending with a parent or on their own.

Young people are often happier to talk when they are doing something else. One of the ways to facilitate this is to have drawing or doodling materials to hand, and where appropriate we may use sand tray which is very ‘hands on’.

For younger children we may use therapeutic games to encourage involvement in the discussions.

Who is it for?

Family therapy can cover a wide spectrum of ages, relationships and demographics. It is an honour to work with people to help facilitate understanding and support their relationships.
