Family Counselling Services in Kitscoty, AB.

I provide family therapy for both large and small families. I believe it is important to listen to the perspectives of all family members in an emotionally focussed manner which is encourages the use of emotional intelligence in all members ; learning how to communicate how we are impacted by each other using I statements and having regular family meeting can promote family well being

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 explode in anger, collapse in sadness or numb out to avoid the whole thing. As a family therapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to untangle confusion, respect and honour each individual’s unique identity and feelings 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.

Family Systems Therapy is used to address many issues that can arise within the context of a family unit. At FP Counselling, we use this approach to counselling to assist families in identifying, addressing and coping with these issues as they surface, which has even shown to assist in addressing other mental health concerns like depression, anxiety and food-related disorders. Some of our psychologists are focused specifically on family therapy and helping understanding individuals and families identify power struggles, communication problems, and other personal and family issues.

I have worked families to strengthen connections and enhance communication for over 20 years. Virtual counselling can take place with family members who are in multiple locations. Though video counselling you and your family can be together even when you are apart. Every family is unique. We are who we are. Together we can celebrate and learn from each other when we listen to hear.
