When we experience a loss or bereavement the associated grief can feel overwhelming at first.  It is a complex emotional process which continuously evolves over time. Grief is a deeply personal experience. There is definitely no right or wrong way to grieve and there is certainly no 'one-size-fits-all' approach, everyone is different. In my role as a Grief, Loss, and Bereavement Counsellor, my primary focus is on offering compassionate, personal, and meaningful support in a space which is personal to you, confidential and safe.

Do you identify with the following: I just want to hide under the bed covers. Why am I so worthless? I’m just hopeless. I don’t know who I am meant to be? Why can’t I cope? Everything is getting on top of me. What is it about me that doesn’t fit? Why does my child keep doing that? I don’t want to see people. Why am I just not good enough? I get so stressed and anxious about life. What is wrong with me? I need to talk to somebody.

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.
