What does Family Therapy entail?
A dysfunctional family system can significantly impact everyone involved. It affects self-esteem and confidence levels. But here’s the exciting part: Family therapy is here to change that. It strengthens bonds among family members—child-adult connections — and improves attachment insecurities in a nurturing environment that enhances relationships and communication.
At Another Hope Counselling, exploring within the safety of therapeutic relationships is prioritised. A secure space is available with our therapist, Adeola, through a systemic, trauma-informed approach, creative play therapy interventions, and tools. It offers to empower families to tackle persistent challenges and patterns while boosting conflict resolution, parenting skills, and mental health.
With a collaborative and friendly approach, we can explore deep into the dynamics of family issues, ensuring everyone feels heard, both as individuals and as a group. Each session welcomes a vibrant mix of family members, respects each member’s needs, promotes open dialogue, and truly empowers you all.

Benefits of Choosing Family Therapy
The specialised Family therapy at Another Hope Counselling can offer weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions. Short-term solution focus in a few sessions and long-term treatment provides many benefits to families, where children can attend, including;
Improved communication: Family members can learn to communicate more effectively. Communicating unconscious and unspoken needs can reduce conflicts and improve overall cohesion in relationships. It can solve problems and strengthen family bonds.
​
Resolving Conflicts: Supportive space in identifying the root causes of conflicts in their interactions. Enables settling disputes and resolving conflicts, improving family relationships and connections.
​
Better Understanding: Family members are supported with practical session exercises to learn how to hear and view from the other lens. It improves perception of others’ feelings, fostering empathy and compassion.​
Improved Mental Health: Identify unique support needs for family members struggling with mental health issues like depression and anxiety. It can relieve communication pressures, improve symptoms, mental health, and well-being. Generational issues: Our work together can deepen each family member’s awareness of how passed-down generational ideas and narratives can influence and underlie responses and reactions. Sitting on the shoulders of giants: Reflection and promotion of a new hope for positive values. We can explore the personal and family views to review and redevelop productive value. Strengthened Bonds: Broken relationships between family members, including marriages, can be repaired through the development of new relational skills. It can offer another way of creating a more supportive and loving family environment, a significant change that moves existence towards thriving.
Are you struggling to let go of what no longer works for you? Do you experience low self-esteem and struggle to embrace change? The exciting part is the journey starts from within! With a supportive therapeutic relationship and expert guidance, you can truly discover your personal development needs.
This is the essence of Another Hope Counselling and Psychotherapy Service: building from the same pain and loss experience to meet these needs by offering professional psychological therapy for individuals and executives. Each session provides an empathetic therapeutic space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and worries.
​
My approach is collaborative, friendly, conversational, helping to balance acceptance, compassion and change. It entails working closely with you to strengthen your self-awareness, address intrapsychic and relational issues, enhance your productivity, and improve your low self-confidence and self-worth. Together, we will review your self-narrative and work to improve your well-being through self-development therapy here.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to face complicated feelings, the fear of commitment to self-compassion, where familiar core beliefs and self-rejection or neglect have reigned long. We can choose to make a difference. Many people find it easy to show kindness to others but remain perfectionists, self-critical, and struggle to extend kindness to themselves intentionally. Does this relate to you?​ ​We can meet for sessions nationwide — online therapy or in-person Leeds counselling — as well as in Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, and Yorkshire. Leeds therapy is flexible during the week.

Transforming Limiting Beliefs into Empowering Patterns for Personal Development

Understandably, some social beliefs view personal development therapy as a luxury rather than an expense for everyday basic needs, which most can relate to.
​
While valuing ourselves as the engine that makes each day possible is crucial, personal issues, such as excessive self-consciousness, fear of abandonment, and more, can make everyday tasks tedious and challenging, creating a need for meaningful attention.​​
Are You Holding Beliefs that no longer support?
If these resonate with you, we can embark on a self-discovery journey to uncover deeply ingrained patterns in your experiences that shape your very essence. These patterns may seem comfortable and familiar, but may have outlived their usefulness. If unresolved, it traps one in the past by reinforcing self-limiting beliefs, at least. It often leads to emotional turmoil and conflicts within and across one's relationships, affecting daily life.
Let's envision your Uniqueness
Another Hope Counselling Service’s vision and beliefs emphasise your individuality. It values thorough exploration by offering a psychodynamic therapy approach—a fundamental framework that supports your experiences throughout life. This may involve examining issues that impact your identity, which can sometimes mislead, distort, or limit your outlook and expectations, both personally and in relationships. Our work may include integrating other psychological techniques, such as relational therapy and specialised psychoanalysis, tailored to your needs. It involves working with you, adapting resources to your unique personality and needs, fostering healing where wounds exist by understanding, and building resilience, developing self-confidence, strengthening character, and increasing productivity.
Nothing is impossible. Each family’s problems and dynamics require an approach that meets their unique needs. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to working with each member’s differences and issues, seeking to strengthen connection and family bonds.
