Family therapy
Families are a melting pot of feelings, some more challenging than others. I am interested in hearing from all members of your family, to understand the different perspectives you each have about the problem. In doing this, I will support you to start to form a new and emerging story, and encourage you each to find your voice in different and creative ways.
