What Is Family Counselling?

Family Counselling

Family counselling is a specially targeted counselling service which can help families who may have problems or conflict within the family unit. This counselling service is guided under the Family Law Act and is capable of helping difficult family relationships manage their interpersonal and personal issues when it comes to the family, especially children during divorce, separation and marriage.

What To Expect Within Our Sessions?

Family Counselling

Family counselling services from Endeavour Wellness generally work on providing support, advice and guidance to help families reunite as a complete family unit. Our services are carried out by specialist family psychologists who are fully trained and qualified in providing the necessary support required to get a family back together to resolve their issues.

During the session each family member will be given their own time to speak and express how they feel without being interrupted. This allows each member of the family to understand what the other person is feeling and why they may be behaving in a particular way. This new environment setting allows for a safe, open and clear discussion of all problems and issues to ensure action is taken to resolve the problem.

Who Needs Family Counselling?

While many families bicker and fight with one another, those who need counselling generally feature one or more of the following:

  • Those who are currently going through divorce, death of a family member, new marriage, or a trial separation.
  • Those who have long family feuds that can’t be resolved through normal means.
  • Families going through hard times where children are involved.
  • Those struggling financially where it may be impacting everyone involved.
  • Those struggling to cope with a newly disabled family member.

These are some of the main areas where family counselling may be required.

Expert Insight: Understanding What May Sit Beneath a Child’s Behaviour

A child’s behaviour can affect the whole family, especially when parents or carers feel unsure how to respond.

In this Expert Insight, the Endeavour Wellness clinical team explains why challenging behaviour may be linked to big emotions, developmental needs, parental separation, new family members, moving house or schools, class transitions, sensory overstimulation, social difficulties, tiredness, hunger or executive functioning differences.

The article also explores how parents and carers can acknowledge a child’s feelings while still holding clear and consistent boundaries around behaviour. Where family patterns, relationships or household stress are contributing to the concern, family counselling may also help families explore what is happening together.
