Family therapy

Most families experience serious difficulties sometimes. If it feels like family relationships are suffering and you are no longer sure what to do for the best or family members seem stuck in repeating hurtful patterns or behaviour, family therapy can help. It enables family members to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely and to understand each other's experiences and views, appreciate each other's needs, build on family strengths and make useful changes in their relationships and their lives. Sometimes it does not take much to help a family free up their strengths: sometimes the difficulties are more complex, and the families may need longer to find solutions that work for them. Family therapy can help child and adolescent behaviour problems, couple relationship difficulties, illness and disability in the family, separation and divorce and step family life, fostering, adoption and kinship care.
