Family and Systemic Psychotherapy helps people explore, express and work through challenging interactions and dynamics within their close relationships. Family Therapists work in partnership with families or couples to identify the strengths of the family as individuals and as a unit to utilise these as relational resources for overcoming challenges and create positive changes in their relationships moving forward.
Family Therapy can help clients:
Express thoughts and emotions to problem solve collaboratively.
Explores the origins of conditioned roles and patterns of behaviour within the family system that cause conflict to develop better ways of relating and interacting.
Helps clients identify and gain confidence in their individual and family strengths to overcome challenges and support connection.
Where family members are struggling with mental health conditions, life cycle issues, trauma, grief and loss .
'Family' is a used as a general term and includes non-biological relationships that the client considers family. Depending on the need, family therapy can engage individuals, couples, the whole family, extended family and friends to enable people to talk about their concerns and issues in an engaged and respectful way. Sessions typically last 50 minutes. The number of sessions depends on the family/couple/ individual situation but aims to be short term. Sessions available in person, online and outreach/ home visits.
