Family Therapy

A family can encounter a situation that they are having trouble resolving. Usually it involves their communication or changing roles.

When they are with someone who listens, who understands, and whose feedback is informed and fair-minded, the family can better understand their communication and, therefore, one another’s stage of development (i.e., of infancy, early childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and later adulthood) or changing roles (i.e., as a parent, child, sibling, grandparent, or grandchild).

With ongoing support, mentoring, and encouragement, the family evolve new ways of communicating with one another and, through a process of caring, organised, structured discussion, come to see themselves or the situation more clearly and, thereby, can address it more meaningfully.

Then, when the family has accomplished this, it is time for them to say farewell to their trusted guide, their therapist, as they continue their own family journey.
