Each and every family comes with their own set of challenges.
When communication breaks down, it can often lead to conflict within the family or between family members.
Oftentimes, family members may feel trapped or unable to resolve the crisis happening at home. This often leads to a fight or flight response, in which members of the family may engage in escape behaviour such as: working extra hours, staying at school longer, separation and/or divorce, increased time on the phone and/or video games.
It may lead to a fight response in which increased conflict occurs in the household, which may result in verbal abuse, aggressive behaviours, excessive shouting, and intimidation.
Seeking out Family Therapy early on is vital to being able to make effective change within the family. Family Therapy may be used for families going through separation and/or divorce, loss, substance use, parent-teen conflict, parenting help, sibling conflict, crisis intervention and/or traumatic experience, and infidelity.
Family Counselling provides a safe and non-judgemental space for family members to express themselves without getting into trouble or feeling powerless. We integrate attachment-based therapy into our sessions to strengthen family ties between its members and help build a safe and secure attachment style.
Counselling can be beneficial for teaching appropriate coping skills and techniques as well as teaching listening skills, boundaries, expressing empathy, communication skills, working as a unit, expressing anger in a healthy manner, effective parenting techniques, strengthening family attachment, and recognizing triggers. Don’t hesitate to call for your free 15-minute consultation to see how our counselling services can help your family. You can also check our base fees here.
