Family Counselling Services

Family counselling

Counselling for families stuck in the same argument. Sessions give everyone a turn, with someone in the room who is not taking sides.

Everyone gets a turn

Family counselling

Sessions can include the whole family, part of it, or one person at a time, depending on what is workable.

Getting an appointment

No long waitlist

Book online and pick a time that suits the family calendar.

Who you will see

Registered counsellors

Sessions are with a registered counsellor who works with family conflict, blended families, teenagers, and parent and adult child relationships.

How we work

The pattern, not the person

Most family conflict runs on a loop nobody chose. We map the loop, then work on the point where it can break.

What families bring to us

These are some of the things families describe when they first get in touch.

The same argument

Different words, same fight, every week.

Talking past each other

Everyone explaining, no one hearing it.

Drifted apart

Living in the same house, barely in touch.

Not speaking

A relationship that has gone quiet or ended.

How it works

Three steps from first contact to your first session.

Step 1

Book a time

Choose a slot through the online booking system, or send an enquiry first.

Step 2

Your first session

We hear from each person about what is going on, then agree what the sessions are for.

Step 3

Ongoing sessions

Sessions carry on while the new patterns hold.
