Family Counselling Services in Welland, ON.

Sometimes the difficulties occurring in a family are systemic - which means that there is not really a 'problem person' but a family interaction malfunction. In family counselling, it is understood that everyone in the family impacts and affects everyone else and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It is also understood that the way to 'fix' a family problem is not by simply changing specific behaviours, but by changing the structure of the family. This can be a very important process for the many different types of families that we have in our society.

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. I offer family therapy sessions and encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your families needs.

Family therapy is aimed at addressing and improving the dynamics within a family unit. By involving all members in the therapeutic process, family therapy aims to uncover and resolve issues that affect the family's overall functioning and relationships. My goal is to work collaboratively with the family to discover the family dynamics and systems that exist and to facilitate improved communication and connection between its members. Ideally, family therapy aims to help members support each other’s emotional needs in the here and now, ultimately promoting a healthier and more cohesive family environment.

We work together to build a safe and supportive environment for each member of your family to grow stronger and more confidant. I encourage every one of you to speak up, to explain your views and feelings. We explore how you all interact, the role each plays in the whole. We look for better ways that you can hear and understand each other. Often one family member is seen as the problem. Other members can cast light on that situation, describe what they see in a way that may offer new options to one or all. Call me at 905-937-4596 to get help now.

As a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist, I understand that families can be our closest and most important relationships, however at times these relationships can be a source of great confusion and pain. We can work together to identify unhealthy relationship patterns, develop appropriate personal boundaries , decrease stress and to create ease in your interactions with those in your closest circle.

I provide a safe, supportive space for families to explore challenges, improve communication, and strengthen connections. Together, we work to identify patterns, navigate conflicts, and develop strategies that foster understanding, cooperation, and emotional resilience among family members. Clients benefit by experiencing clearer communication, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of unity, while each family member gains tools to manage stress, resolve conflicts constructively, and create a more balanced, supportive, and harmonious home environment.

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.
