Family Therapy Family therapy sessions are available on a group and individual basis and can support resolution of family difficulties as well as contribute to the assessment whilst supporting change in families and individuals. Our family therapist assists families to find constructive ways to deal with abuse or parenting issues and exploring ways forward. The outcomes of therapy assist in the understanding the potential and time-scales for change. Multi-Family Therapy Multi family therapy sessions are organised to combine the benefits of group work with the systemic focus of family therapy by supporting families experiencing similar issues such as mental health needs, traumatic experiences, and parenting difficulties, to share their experiences and create additional support networks, and increase empowerment and commitment to change. Play Therapy Play is a natural form of expression for children and we use this to help children sort and communicate muddled feelings and upsetting events. We build on this to assist parents in developing ways in which they are able to relate to their child using child-centred techniques. Filial therapy can be delivered in an individual or group setting and assists parents in developing parenting confidence, understanding their child’s needs and worries, learn new ways to deal with family difficulties.
