Family Counselling Services in Archer, ON.

Family dynamics are often complex minefields of well practiced relations with roles that are well defined through years of pattern behaviour. To change any part is to change the system and the system isn't easy to change. Families can benefit from having a third party help identify these patterns and sort out the positive from the negative with the ultimate goal of finding new ways of interacting and being that can hopefully expose the greatest opportunity for the family system to work for all its members. Let's work on being better.

It is not uncommon in families for patterns to be set and sometimes these patterns are not healthy or helpful for family relationships, or individual mental health. We often learn to tolerate our family members’ behaviour and have difficulty speaking up or expressing how their behaviour impacts us.

Families are a natural system under which the members of the family relate and interact. It is important to learn which are this interactions that create the specific system in which the family lives. As well the patterns of their attachment show how they communicate with each other and how the different events of the family's life will be experienced and dealt with.

It can be hard to know where to start when trying to address conflict within the family because each member is unique and may have very different concerns and goals.

My approach to family therapy is rooted in the healing power of relationships and focuses on collaboration to create shared meaning.

Family dynamics are complicated. Each family has established patterns, such as how everyone communicates within the family system, how they deal with stressful situations and conflict, their roles in the family unit and how members seek support from one another. In sessions, we seek to balance the needs of each individual to understand the dynamics between family members and how these dynamics are impacting the family as a whole.

When an individual in the family experiences an ongoing issue it typically affects the entire family. In family therapy Sarah involves various family members in sessions to assist them to understand how each member's behaviour affects the others. This benefits the family by assisting them in learning new communication and conflict resolution skills and by helping to create greater closeness and sense of commitment through the resolution of family hurts and traumas. Typically family therapy results in improved communication, a greater ability to work together as a family team, a greater sense of mutual respect and connectedness and a resolution of the issues that cause division in the family.

Gestalt therapy is a systems‐oriented, immediate‐experience‐oriented, and affect‐oriented therapy that is highly effective for families. Unlike other therapies, gestalt regards the client system's emergent processes as the central focus, and it emphasizes that growth occurs as the family and its members are helped to greater self‐awareness and responsibility for their own functioning.
