Family Therapy
Understanding the Family System

Professional interaction to identify conflict and move forward as a unit.

Each family has its own unique social system, structures, and communication processes. Family therapy is based on the understanding that family personality has a powerful effect on its members, often influenced by parents' beliefs, values, and the personalities of each member.


When one member experiences psychological difficulties, it may stem from a larger family problem. Through the sharing of views and understandings, we explore ways the family can co-operate, using the family's strengths to resolve anxieties and bring about positive change.
