Every family is different and family relationships aren’t always easy to manage; sometimes a little support, can really help you and your loved ones get back on track.

Family Counselling provides a safe space where you can work through your families issues, problems and concerns, openly and without judgement.

Whether you’re struggling to agree on parental responsibilities, having trouble connecting with your partner, or need help communicating with your child, Family Counselling can help you find positive solutions to these challenges.

It is important to take into consideration all aspects of the complexities of family dynamics and the treatment of issues. Some of the many types of areas involved in Family Therapy include:

• Sibling rivalry

• Behavioural issues

• Arguments

• Addictions

• Abuse and trauma

• Domestic & Family Violence

• Mental health issues

• Caring for an elderly or disabled family member

• Lone parent families

• Adoption and adoptive families

• Divorced or separated families

• New step-family members

• Same-sex couples with children

• Financial matters

• A teenager who is acting out or self-harming

Family therapy will assist your family to identify your family’s issues that contribute to family conflict. It will help you to find ways to work through problematic issues, learn new ways to communicate with each other and reach greater levels of understandings.

Even after separation or divorce, counselling can encourage strong, positive family relationships and interactions, and help to build healthier relationships in the future.

It's important to understand that if violence is present, safety is the highest priority. Counselling can only be provided after a safe situation is established. Once this has occurred, issues can be addressed, plans can be implemented and healing can begin.
