Family Counselling

All families have conflict of one sort or another.  When normal conflicts turn into daily shouting matches, family members begin hurting each other emotionally, sometimes physically and a feeling of anger permeates the household, it's time to do something about it. Blended families in which one or both parents bring to the marriage children from previous relationships present their own unique dynamics. Sometimes the conflict is caused by the inappropriate or unacceptable behavior of one or more members of the family. It affects all concerned. At Community Counselling we work with those individuals to try to help them with the cause of their actions, we also work with the entire family so they can provide support for that person and for each other, and to learn how to reduce the conflict.

Families are a system of interacting parts. We learn how to think, feel and behave from the families in which we grew up. When these beliefs are not challenged and/or changed, we pass on that legacy to our children and their families.

Family counseling may be particularly useful for:

• Problems developing in one or more family members which affect all (i.e.: children's problems, anger, depression in one partner etc.)
• Family or relationship change such as divorce, or children leaving home
• Cultural and ethnic conflict within relationships
• Sexual or cultural differences between the family and the larger community
• Finding the satisfaction you seek in relationships

Individual Counselling

Everyone experiences problems in the course of growth and development. Some problems pass with time; some can be resolved with personal creative problem solving; some can be resolved by consulting with family, friends, or other resources. Sometimes problems persist in spite of all attempts to resolve them; sometimes they are just too numerous, too acute, and too big to manage without additional support. At these times counseling services can provide assistance in rebuilding problem solving resources and options.

Individual counseling may be particularly useful for:

• life changes, such as relationship loss
• aloneness and loneliness
• ethnic and cultural background differences
• sexual identity differences
• anger issues, ongoing stressors such as depression; substance abuse; eating or other disorders

          Mediation Services

Marriages, business partnerships and corporations do break up. Skilled psychologists/mediators have saved parties millions of dollars in damages, legal costs and court costs by diverting the process away from the traditional lawyer and court's adversarial methods and building instead a goal-oriented  and discussion framework for cooperative issue structuring, management and resolution. With adept mediation, key issues can be resolved and finality reached early in the process at a nominal cost. Please  call us for a free consultation to discuss the viability of this adjunct to your legal processes.
