Family Therapy

Systems theory focuses on each person’s role in the family and bringing about an understanding of how each member is affecting and affected by the family as a unit. When one person changes their behaviour they will bring change to the whole family system.  In a similar fashion to Couple’s Therapy the therapist focuses on eliciting perspectives and thoughts from each family member and introducing tasks and suggestions that may bring about a positive change.

I consider that my role when working with couples and families is to provide an environment where different needs, perspectives and conflicts can be aired in a constructive way with all parties being given a respectful space to be heard. The aim is to provide strategies for effective communication and negotiation that will hopefully bring about resolution or at the very least a deeper understanding of you and others within your relationships.
