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, working within a systemic, trauma-informed approach, creative play therapy interventions, and tools. It empowers families to address persistent challenges and patterns while improving 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.
