FAMILY THERAPY |
| |
Family Therapists help family members find
constructive ways to help each other. They work in
ways that acknowledge the contexts of people's
families and other relationships, sharing and
respecting individuals' different perspectives,
beliefs, views and stories, and exploring possible
ways forward.
Family Therapists thus not only support change with
individuals but also in their relationships in the
family and beyond, so children, young people, adults
and/or those important to them are supported in
continued recovery.
Family Therapists' areas of particular experience
and expertise include:
Family relationships and changes in family life
Child and adolescent mental health
Adult mental health
Parenting issues
Couple relationships
Supporting family members through separation,
mediation and divorce
Child and adolescent behaviour

Anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders
Supporting family members in step-family life
Social policy e.g. child protection
Fostering, adoption and 'looked after' children
Domestic violence
