Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy which aims to help troubled families to overcome crisis, re-establish values, improve relations and provide assistance for problems through early intervention. It focuses on the interconnected relationships within; families to promote better relationships and understanding among family members so they can cope better with the strains and stresses of family life.

​

Families are often the source of love, support and encouragement. However, there are instances when family relationships are put under strain. There could be a number of reasons behind this, with the most common being financial difficulties, parents being divorced or separation, siblings not getting along, a family member is suffering from addiction or substance abuse, a family member has a physical or mental illness, and the approaching death of a family member.

 

Family counselling is often useful in helping families cope with these lie-changing situations and improve their relations.
