Family Counselling: Supporting Healthy Relationships
Family relationship support can be incredibly helpful for supporting relationships and strengthening bonds within the family system, as well as their impacts on individual family members. We work with all kinds of families, including adopted families, blended families, families with LGBTQ+ individuals or families who may be in the process of separating. Through family counselling, we aim to provide a safe space for everyone involved.
Feel free to watch our video above where Vincent, our family therapist, talks about the benefits of family therapy from an impartial perspective and how it can help your family thrive!
Who Can Benefit from Family Counselling?
Parents, caregivers, children, siblings and extended family or even others who are not strictly related but are important within your family unit can take part in the family therapy sessions.
It is important to note that children, however, will not take part in the initial consultation.
By doing this, we are better able to comprehend the dynamics of the family before involving the younger members.
Common Issues Addressed in Family Counselling
Many of the families we support will reach out to us because they are experiencing one or more of the following issues;
- Behavioural issues of children or teenagers
- Emotional or wellbeing issues of one or more family member
- Difficulties communicating and managing unhelpful conflict
- Difficulties resolving issues around difference and diversity
- Relationship breakdown, including parental separation or divorce
- Adjusting to new family dynamics as a result of new relationships or endings
- Disputes around parenting styles including the influence of extended family and in-laws
- A significant life transition such as a child leaving home or a bereavement
- Where a family issue remains unresolved and nothing else seems to be working

If you or your family are experiencing any of these difficulties or other challenges, therapeutic support can help you focus on your family system and find ways to resolve conflicts and concerns in your relationships with one another. Family counselling can be a transformative process, enabling families to strengthen their bonds and improve their overall well-being.
