Problems presented by families are seen as residing in the individual but in the relationships between people.  Members of the family are brought together to discuss the issues that are affecting their relationships. These sessions - and the family therapy techniques used - will be adapted according to the therapy goals and the ages, needs, resources and preferences of the individuals involved. Sessions involving children for example may include drawing and play exercises to help them express their emotions in a more creative and engaging manner.

My aim is to give a chance to everyone to be heard and respected. In almost every case  (unless abuse is involved) I will not take sides or blame individuals, but instead engage your family in sharing understanding and views with each other and the problems brought to therapy.    Everyone will have an opportunity to contribute to discussion, family therapy enables family members to explore ways forward that will work for them as a unit.
