The stress and strains of everyday life, together with the tensions that each member may contribute, can put families under immense pressure. Likewise, personal problems can be made worse by a stressful family life, and it can be a challenge to the family group when an individual family member is going through a process of personal change. Change of any kind can be challenging to how a family works.
Where tensions continue or get worse, it can be beneficial to seek professional help in order to find a way through. You can see a therapist individually, as a small group or as a whole family together.
A professional psychotherapist will remain objective and is specially trained to facilitate families in exploring and overcoming their difficulties through better communication and changing detrimental patterns of behavior.
We can also support you and your children through a divorce or separation, when all members of the family are affected and strong emotions or tensions can exist – including blended or extended families.
