Family therapy is a type of person-centred psychological counselling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve their communication and resolve conflicts. Family therapy can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger, or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better and learn better coping skills to bring you closer together.

Family therapy sessions may include all family members or a few, depending on the individual needs of each family. Your specific treatment plan will depend on your family’s situation. Family therapy sessions can teach you essential skills to deepen family connections, move forward from pain, betrayal, trauma, and grief, and get through stressful times together with improved communication and coping skills.

Family therapy sessions require a specifically trained therapist with postgraduate training in Family Therapy and family dynamics.
