Families are complex, dynamic relationships – and like all complex relationships, they sometimes need help with strengthening communication, learning, emotional regulation and managing boundaries. Family Therapy can help. At Identity Consultancy, Family Therapy is carried out by experienced and trained professionals who blend compassion, patience and proven techniques to help families and family members improve relationships, resolve conflicts and establish positive and healthy habits in a non-judgmental environment where every member feels comfortable and safe.
Family Therapy is a specialized branch of psychotherapy in which family members reflect on, repair and improve their relationships, and learn to communicate better. The process is led by a specialized therapist with extensive experience in Family Therapy, and it typically begins with a series of meetings with the family and its members, either together or in separate groups such as parents, siblings or even individuals alone. Once a therapeutic relationship is established and the specific needs and goals of each member is explored, the therapist uses proven techniques to help address issues such as communication, interpersonal dynamics, and members’ understanding of the needs and experiences of others.
As with all therapies, the process is goal-directed – with goals and outcomes defined based on the unique needs and experience of each family and its members.
Family Therapy may be helpful in any situation affecting the relationships between family members, including if:
Family therapy may be beneficial for families experiencing a wide range of issues, including conflict, communication difficulties, behavioral problems, adjustment issues, trauma, divorce, blended family dynamics, and mental health concerns. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by family challenges and want to improve relationships and overall family functioning, family therapy may be a helpful option for you and your children.
During family therapy sessions, you and your children can expect to participate in joint discussions, activities, and exercises facilitated by a trained family therapist. The therapist will help family members identify strengths, challenges, and goals, explore underlying issues, and develop strategies for positive change. Sessions may involve exploring family dynamics, improving communication skills, setting boundaries, and practicing problem-solving techniques.
The duration of family therapy varies depending on factors such as the nature and severity of family issues, individual progress, and treatment goals. Some families may benefit from short-term therapy focused on addressing specific concerns, while others may require longer-term support to achieve lasting changes in family dynamics. Your therapist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your family’s needs and circumstances.
While family therapy cannot guarantee specific outcomes, it can provide you and your children with valuable tools, insights, and support to address family challenges more effectively and improve relationships. Success in family therapy often depends on the commitment of all family members to actively participate in the process, communicate openly and honestly, and implement strategies learned in therapy.
Whether family therapy sessions involve the entire family or specific family members depends on your family’s unique circumstances and treatment goals. Some families may benefit from joint sessions involving all family members, while others may find it helpful to have individual or parent-child sessions in addition to family sessions. Your therapist will work with you to determine the most appropriate format based on your family’s needs and preferences.
