Adult, Family and Couples Counselling
Family Counselling, also known as Systemic Practice, is a specialised field of therapy that focuses on addressing the challenges faced by families, couples and individuals. It involves a therapeutic relationship between a family or family member and a practitioner, where the Counsellor guides the family in expressing their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, and helps them develop strategies to address their issues.
One such professional offering Adult, couples and Family Systemic Counselling services is Mervyn Reid, a seasoned Family, couples and Adult Counsellor. With over 20 years of experience, Mervyn has worked with adults, couples and families of various sizes and compositions, helping them navigate their challenges and improve their overall well-being.
Family Counselling can be instrumental in helping families achieve their goals and objectives. It employs systemic strategies and interventions to make the process more impactful and family-friendly. These strategies guide and organise a family’s efforts, enabling them to reach their objectives efficiently. For instance, if a family’s goal is to improve their communication, a measurable goal could be set, such as reducing the frequency of misunderstandings by a certain percentage within a specified timeframe.
Family Counselling is not just about solving immediate problems; it also equips families with longer-term problem-solving skills. It encourages active engagement, where the family plays a significant role in the healing process. This active engagement extends beyond the therapy sessions and may involve tasks like reflection, implementing better practices for living, and psychoeducation.
In conclusion, Adult, Couples and Family Systemic Counselling is a powerful tool that can support families in overcoming challenges, achieving their goals, and enhancing their overall well-being. Whether a family is dealing with mental health issues, behavioural problems, or personal growth, a professional family therapist like Mervyn can guide them on their journey towards healing and self-improvement.
