Family Therapy
How Therapy for the family works and how it can help your family:
Family therapy is a type of therapy that includes all or key members of the family to reduce distress and conflict. Through making sense of the difficult interactions between people and supporting family members to understand the intension behind behaviours, exploring difficult thoughts and emotions safely. By understanding each other’s experiences, the therapy helps to build on existing strengths to make useful changes in their relationships. The difference between family therapy and individual therapy is its approach of viewing the problems as a pattern within the family that need adjusting, as opposed to viewing problems as residing in one member of the family.
Why families may decide to have therapy:
A major trauma or change to family life that impacts the whole family from example the death of a family member or
when a child is struggling with school, substance misuse, relationships or when families are struggling to communicate. It can also help with:
Divorce
Domestic abuse
Change to family system – i.e. adoption, blended family, birth of a sibling etc
Family therapy can be helpful in many ways such as:
Support family members in developing and maintaining healthy boundaries
Fosters cohesion and communication among family members
Supports family members to problem solve through understanding family patterns and dynamics
Supports with building empathy and understanding
Reduces family conflict
