Family counselling aims to address psychological, behavioural, and emotional issues that cause family problems. The usual goals of family therapy are improving communication, solving family problems, understanding and handling special family situations, and creating a better-functioning home environment. Family members will work with their therapist to change the patterns of interaction between family members and to develop and maintain healthy relationships. 

This type of therapy can help when families are feeling overwhelmed, sad and angry; when they're unsure how to move forward; or when they feel that they are repeating the same harmful behaviours over and over. Throughout sessions, the emphasis is to help everyone in the family understand and support each other and work through difficult feelings in a safe space. 

Individual therapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a psychotherapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. It allows individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviours, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.

In general, the goal of psychotherapy is to talk through mental health concerns and help clients heal, grow, and move toward more productive, psychologically healthy lives. Good therapy is client-driven, and specific goals for therapy will be determined by you and your therapist.

Individual psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes long. The frequency and duration of therapy will depend largely on your needs, treatment goals, and progress. Many concerns are readily resolved with short-term therapy, and other chronic or more complex concerns require long-term commitment before improvement is realized.

Counselling for youth provides a safe and supportive space for young individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trained professional. It's aimed at helping them navigate challenges, such as academic stress, peer pressure, mental health issues, family conflicts, or identity concerns. Through counselling, youth can develop coping strategies, improve communication skills, enhance self-awareness, and build resilience, empowering them to manage difficulties effectively and make informed decisions. By fostering a trusting relationship, counselling equips young individuals with the tools to address obstacles, promote mental wellness, and navigate the complexities of childhood, and adolescence with confidence and resilience.

In couples therapy, couples can expect a safe and structured environment where they work with a trained therapist to explore and address issues within their relationship. Sessions typically involve open and honest communication, guided discussions, and exercises aimed at enhancing understanding, empathy, and problem-solving skills. The therapist facilitates constructive dialogue, helping couples identify patterns of behavior, communication styles, and underlying issues contributing to conflicts or dissatisfaction. Together, couples learn effective communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and tools to rebuild trust and intimacy. The goal of couples therapy is to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships by promoting mutual respect, empathy, and emotional connection.
