We have a number of therapists whose focus is on helping families achieve stronger bonds, peacefulness at home and overall a better balance. The therapist creates a respectful environment which encourages healthy self-expression. Family therapy focuses on the dynamics that contribute to problems in a family, such as:
- difficult relationship between the parents
- behaviour problems with a child or with an adolescent
- adjustment of all family members to separation/divorce or a reconstituted family
- problems with adult children
- issues with aging parents
- The therapist will help all members of the family to:
- express their perception of the problem
- recognize each persons’ relationship to the problem
- examine their part in maintaining or resolving the problems
- create new ways of interacting
- promote insightful, strategic problem solving

- develop strategies or interventions that will empower them as parents
- develop more trusting and secure relationships with their children
- assist their children to cope with the challenges of growing up
- practice co-parenting in mutually supportive ways
- Parent counselling offers parents
- new ways to understand themselves as parents
- resolution of parent’s past issues with their own parents
- parenting strategies to help their children manage their troubles
The therapist will help all members of the family to
