Family Therapy
Understanding family relationships.
Careful attention to shared histories and different experiences.
People within a family can live through the same events and experience them very differently. When conversations become strained, or a change unsettles familiar roles, it can be difficult to understand one another. Family therapy offers time to explore those differences and consider how you would like to relate.
A shared history. Different perspectives.
Listening to each person.
Each person’s account matters. We seek to understand what has been difficult without assuming that everyone sees the situation in the same way.
Understanding familiar roles.
We may explore the roles, reactions and expectations that have developed over time, and how they influence present relationships.
Considering changes together.
The work can include conversations about communication, boundaries and responsibilities, with attention to what changes would be realistic and meaningful.
When family relationships become difficult.
You might want help with recurring arguments, changing family roles, a separation, loss, or communication that has become difficult.
Families take many forms. Contact us to discuss who would take part and whether our services are a suitable fit for the ages, relationships and concerns involved.
Deciding how to begin.
Your therapist will discuss who attends, each person’s goals, consent, confidentiality and the practical arrangements before beginning. Session structure can vary according to your family’s needs.
Ask us about family-therapy fees, session length and available appointment formats before booking.
