Family Therapy at Personal Psychology
Family life is a beautiful yet complex journey, filled with moments of joy, growth, and, at times, challenges. Whether you’re navigating risky adolescent behaviours, parenting styles, sibling rivalries, generational conflicts, or the unique struggles of raising adolescents, family therapy can be a transformative tool to help your family thrive.
What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a powerful approach designed to address complex family dynamics, conflicts, and transitions. It provides a safe and supportive space for families to explore underlying concerns, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. By working collaboratively with your family, we help identify the root causes of tension and create strategies to foster understanding, connection, and problem-solving within your family unit.
Common Family Challenges We Address
Risky adolescent behaviours? We help you to understand and manage these behaviours confidently, no matter how serious it seems.
Parenting Styles, struggling to align on discipline, boundaries, or expectations?
Sibling Rivalries: Dealing with conflicts or competition between siblings?
Generational Conflicts: Bridging the gap between different generations in your household?
Adolescent Challenges: Supporting your teen through mental health, behavioural, or academic struggles?

How Family Therapy Can Help
Through evidence-based approaches such as Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), we create a nurturing environment where every family member feels heard and valued. Our goal is to help your family:
Improve Communication by learning to express thoughts and feelings openly and respectfully.
Resolve Conflicts quicker and develop healthy strategies to address disagreements and reduce tension.
Strengthen Bonds, rebuild trust and deepen emotional connections within the family.
Navigate Challenges Together: by giving tools to the whole family handle life’s ups and downs as a united team.
Supporting Families with Adolescents
Raising adolescents can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging phases of parenting. Teens often face unique mental health and behavioural challenges, such as academic stress, emotional regulation difficulties, or experimentation with substances. These struggles can create tension and stress for both the adolescent and their caregivers.
We provide tailored support to help families navigate these complexities. Our approach focuses on:
Understanding Adolescent Needs and helping parents and caregivers better understand their teen’s emotions and behaviours.
Developing Effective Strategies and equipping families with tools to support their adolescent while maintaining their own well-being.
Creating a Supportive Environment by having open communication and mutual respect between parents and teens.
