Family Therapy
Family Psychologists in Sandton
Family therapy focuses on the relationships and needs of the family as a unit. Through working with the family as a whole system, our psychologists in Sandton believe that the approach is rooted in the belief that people as well as relationships are interconnected. As with group and individual therapy, family therapy is used to approach a wide variety of therapeutic goals.
What to expect during family counselling
Our psychologists in Sandton use family counselling to help identify the ways in which relationship and individual problems are caused by the family dynamics. For example, if a child is having emotional and/or social problems, our family psychologists, based in the Sandton area will focus on identifying the family patterns that have contributed to the child’s difficulty. This is a preferred method instead of helping the child alone through play therapy.
Why would my family need therapy?
As our family therapists work intimately with the whole family to improve communication, issues and conflict or issue resolution in dealt with as a family unit. However each and every person in the family unit is different and a result, our Sandton based therapists have dealt with varying issues.
These may include:
- Psychological disorders (addiction, bad eating habits)
- Dealing with interactional and transitional crises (divorce, new additions to family)
- Relationship problems within the family structure
Our psychologists in Sandton may also involve work with smaller sub- systems in the family. These may include siblings and parents as well as their relationships. This systemic approach used by our highly competent family therapists may also extend itself to include the school or other areas.
Why does the entire family need to attend sessions?
Family counselling works effectively when families or individuals within the family structure experience or suffer with one or a number of issues. Our experienced psychologists believe that whether the problem lies with an individual family member or the entire family, everybody needs to be a part of the solution.
Our family therapists are skilled in a broad selection of treatment modalities and provide psychotherapeutic and diagnostic services to families in need.
