What is family therapy?
Family therapy enables family members to explore difficult thoughts and feelings safely and understand each other’s point of view. Family therapy can also be used as an opportunity to reflect on important relationships and create ways to move forward. This type of counselling can involve all members of a nuclear family, step family and extended family too. Any issues that are interfering with the family dynamic may be addressed.
