Family Therapy

We support families to be healthy and connected.

Family Therapy involves working with some or all members of a family or people in close relationship to each other, to support concerns around relationship dynamics, conflict and communication in the family unit regarding a variety of issues.

We draw upon the strengths of the family and treat you as part of a whole unit, rather than viewing the 'problem' as residing in one person. Your psychologist will be respectful, compassionate and strengths-based, and be sensitive and accepting of diverse family forms, relationships, cultures and beliefs.

In the Family Therapy process, we strive to enhance communication and cohesion, promote problem-solving skills, build empathy and attunement, and support healthy boundaries within the family.
