There are several types of family therapy. We use a combination to form an integrative approach best suited to your family’s needs. 

Family systems therapy: This is an approach that focuses on helping people utilise the strengths of their relationships to overcome mental health problems.

Narrative family therapy: This encourages family members to each tell their own story to understand how those experiences shape who they are and how they relate to others. Our clients start to view problems more objectively rather than just seeing things through their own eyes. 

Supportive family therapy: This focuses on creating a safe environment where family members can openly share what they are feeling and get support from their family.

We will help each member of your family to gain an understanding of each other’s lives and how you can support each other.

We use techniques and strategies in family therapy to improve:

• emotional awareness
• assisting with major stress changes within a family
• helping people accept things they cannot control
• death in the family
• divorce, separation or marital problems
• improving behaviours
• parent-child conflict
• problems between siblings
• parenting issues
• communication and collaboration.

Research suggests that family therapy can be effective for improving family functioning, each individual’s well-being and mental health.
