Benefits of Family Counselling
Some ways that family therapy may be beneficial include:
de-escalating stressful interactions

fostering a more secure attachment between members
teaching skills for healthy communication and regulating emotions
supporting healthy transition through times of change
emotional processing of difficult events or experiences
The Family Therapy Process
Your therapist will consult with you to identify the presenting issue and who should attend the first session. The 'assessment phase' is typically 2-3 sessions and typically includes a conjoint session with family members, as well as individual meeting time with different members. This helps your therapist gain an understanding of the family's relationship functioning and each person's perspective and goal for therapy.
