Family Therapy

Being part of a family plays a pivotal role in shaping our lives, yet it’s not uncommon for conflicts to arise among family members. Family therapy is designed to support the entire family in navigating these challenges together. It may focus on some or all members of the family, depending on the situation. In a therapeutic setting, a safe and open environment is created, allowing each family member to express their concerns and struggles freely.

In family therapy, roles and responsibilities within the family unit are examined, along with the communication styles used by its members. The therapeutic process provides a neutral, safe space where individuals can openly express their thoughts and emotions. This approach helps each member gain a deeper understanding of their own perspective and the experiences of others.

Family relationships form the cornerstone of individual well-being, shaping emotional and mental health.

Things you can do to improve your situation

  • Have one-on-one time with each family member. Go for a walk or play a game – the amount of time spent isn’t as important as the quality of time spent.
  • Share meal-time or eat one meal together everyday. Meals can be an opportunity for your family to be social together
  • Have one-on-one time with each family member. Go for a walk or play a game – the amount of time spent isn’t as important as the quality of time spent.
