Couples and Family Therapy
STEP 4
Endings and next steps
We will review the benefits of sessions regularly, to make sure that we are addressing the difficulties and goals most important to you, your family or your partner.
STEP 3
Getting started with couples or family therapy
We will work together to identify different past and current influences for difficulties you (or your family, partner or friends) may be experiencing, and identify how you, and potentially others around you, would like the situation to change.
We make sure that everyone who comes to sessions has the opportunity to speak if they want to. This sometimes involves helping people to first develop the confidence to do so. The number of sessions people have depends on what they would like to talk about. Some people find 4 – 6 sessions helpful. Others have more sessions than this.
STEP 2
Therapy assessment
Our aim is that you'll leave an assessment feeling confident about what can be done to help, with a plan for the how, why and when.
STEP 1
Introductory consultation
If you’re thinking about our couples and family therapy services, we offer a free 30 minute consultation to talk through any questions you may have.
How it works
Your questions answered
What is schema therapy?
Systemic couples and family therapy can help you to:
explore the different factors that may influence relational difficulties or contribute to a sense of feeling stuck
talk more openly about the concerns and needs you and people close to you have
manage the challenges, life transitions or big changes happening to you or people around you, more effectively
improve communication and relationships with people who are important to you
increase your range of coping strategies, individually and together with others
How can schema therapy help you?
Some people prefer to talk about family issues on their own; others choose to talk about these jointly, and they invite partners or family members to sessions. If you are finding it difficult to decide whether to invite other people to your sessions, or you are unsure how to ask them or you are worried about how they might respond, this is something we can talk about and plan for during sessions.
