Family counseling is a therapeutic process where a trained counselor works with family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. It’s often used when families face challenges like misunderstandings, behavioural issues, divorce, grief, or major life transitions (like a move or a child leaving for university). During sessions, family members are encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental space, and the therapist helps them identify unhealthy patterns and develop more effective ways of interacting. The goal is to improve family dynamics, promote understanding, and help everyone involved work together to achieve harmony and support each other’s emotional well-being.
