Family Counselling

Counselling is a process which allows people to discuss their problems and their feelings in a safe and confidential environment. People seek out therapists to explore their thoughts and feelings, to gain clarity and insight into their situations, and to discover solutions for what is troubling them.

In talk therapy sessions, the therapist will encourage you to talk about what’s upsetting you in order to discover any core causes and to identify your thought patterns. The therapist may then look to create a treatment plan to help you reconcile your issues and to help you to find new better ways of coping. Your therapist may bring a variety of research based treatment strategies into your sessions which can include but are not limited to: Motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and more.
