Family Counselling Services in Yorkton, SK.

What affects one member of a family affects all the members. The troubles of couples affect their children. A huge challenge is finding successful way to blend families created by new partnerships and figuring out good step parenting and step children strategies. Love and optimism turn out not to be enough to ensure happy family life. In counseling we will talk about communication, finances, trust, sexuality and many other issues. You will learn new skills and increase in self esteem and confidence. Other family units who may seek counselling are, for example, a mother and daughter or brothers and sisters. They may want to clear up misunderstandings and enjoy a more satisfying relationship.

Family relationships can be life giving as well as life draining. It is important to discover the foundational challenge that your family faces. With the real challenge identified, I can help you to better understand your family members and the ways they interact. If desired, I can help guide family members to better understanding of each other and possible reconciliation.

I am passionate about building healthy families, and helps all the individuals to be more satisfied in the family, and to grow as individuals. My goal in family therapy, is not help you solve your conflicts, but rather to help you discover what dynamics are contributing to the conflicts. I then help you to alter these dynamics, so you can experience each other in a new manner.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. A combination of individual and joint sessions will take place to allow the space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds holding you back from having a healthier relationship.

Family relationships are complex. Families comes in many different styles from single parent, step-family, extended family, family of origin, chosen family, and married couples I work with families to build communication and skills to move forward in a positive direction. I provide a judgement free atmostphere to explore relationship patterns and build skills. I also provided advice on setting and maintaining boundaries with family members.
