Family therapy services are offered at the Centre for Emotion Focused Practice. Family therapy is a specific field of psychotherapy that is intended to promote better communication and foster more effective inter-personal relationships within the confines of the family setting. Our family therapy services are underpinned by person-centred, existential and humanistic philosophies, utilising process experiential emotion-focused techniques.
Strong and healthy family relationships provide vital resilience against life’s inevitable challenging periods and during distress, trauma and loss. Individual therapy can be greatly enhanced when healing also takes place within the family system.
Therapeutic interventions through family therapy can improve the way a family functions leading to each individual’s increased level of support, understanding, happiness and fulfilment as well as the family unit’s success as a whole.
A wide range of problems can be explored and worked through in a safe, non-judgmental, facilitated environment. Family therapy can be helpful for dealing with issues around alcohol abuse, psychiatric conditions, conduct, mood disorders and behavioural issues, eating disorders, anxiety disorders and family rifts or dysfunction. Individual and/or multiple family member sessions may be utilised.
