Occasional conflicts and challenging situations tend to be common in the family, but sometimes you may be left clueless in dealing with such a problem. Whether the family’s difficulties manifest themselves most conspicuously in one of the family members (e.g. substance abuse or mental illness) or the family is going through a challenging life situation (e.g., divorce), we can help the family to navigate such difficulties and to escape the traps of harmful blaming and victimhood. The therapist’s role is to serve the family members as a neutral and respectful facilitator and counselor.

The therapist can help to initiate a change in the family as to the way its members communicate and to help them look beyond seemingly intractable situations. The aim of therapy is above all to foster mutual respect between family members and a sense of security for open and honest discussion.

We also offer the possibility to work with a therapist pair (one female, one male), which can help ensure gender balance and richness in perspectives during the therapy.
