Despite the value of compassion it is viewed by some as "weakness" or even "not trying hard enough." My goal is to help you and your family discover how compassion can enable you to strengthen your emotional intelligence, personal well-being, and relationships. My compassion-focused approach aims to teach you how to be open to and tolerate painful feelings and develop self-understanding and inner wisdom to know how to deal with life's challenges. This is particularly helpful to adults who have personal struggles linked to shame and self-criticism and those who have experienced childhood trauma or tragedy later in life.

Many children and teens today face increased anxiety, social challenges, learning difficulties, depression, loss or family challenges like divorce or illness of a parent or loved one. In adulthood, the challenges may look different, but age does not shield us from the challenges caused by career pressures, overwhelm or blows to our confidence.

Family Therapy Counsellors

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
