About Family Therapy

What Is Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a collaborative approach that supports families in improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening relationships. Rather than focusing on one person, it looks at how family members interact and influence one another.

Therapy provides a safe, structured space to explore challenges such as parenting difficulties, adolescent issues, blended family dynamics, life transitions, or the impact of mental health concerns on family life. A trained therapist helps families understand different perspectives, recognise unhelpful patterns, and develop healthier ways of relating.

Sessions are tailored to your family’s needs and goals, ensuring every voice is heard. With guidance and practical strategies, families build stronger connections, clearer communication, and greater resilience for the future.

How Family Therapy Works

Family therapy begins with an initial assessment where your therapist takes time to understand your family’s situation, concerns, and goals. This first session helps create a supportive foundation and allows everyone to ask questions, feel heard, and understand how therapy will work. Sessions may involve the whole family or focus on specific relationships, depending on what is most helpful for you.

Throughout therapy, your therapist provides a safe, non-judgemental space to improve communication and understanding between family members. The focus is on practical, present-focused strategies that support positive change. Progress is reviewed regularly, and the skills developed in sessions are designed to be used at home, helping create lasting improvements beyond the therapy room.

FAQs

Family therapy can be transformative, fostering empathy and cooperation, leading to growth and stronger familial bonds even when only one family member is struggling and the underlying issues are addressed.

One-on-one therapy sessions with a family therapist can involve the entire family, select members, or individual sessions to address specific concerns related to family dynamics.
