Family therapy
Family therapy focuses on the relationships within a family, operating on the principle that challenges often arise from the dynamics among all family members, rather than from a single individual. In this type of therapy, we work together to understand and improve how family members interact both within and outside of the therapy sessions.
My role is to support your family in reflecting on your relationships, behaviours, and how you function together as a unit.
When is Family Therapy Recommended?
Family therapy can be particularly beneficial during times of stress or change that strain family relationships, such as:

Family therapy aims to strengthen the family unit, improving relationships and fostering a healthier, more supportive home environment.
