family counselling

 Counselling can be very helpful for a variety of issues that can confront families, such as:

• Changing life circumstances, due to a death in the family, loss of employment, moving to a new place, divorce, or health issues
• Sibling rivalry or conflict that is escalating to the point that children are hurting one another
  
• Dealing with specific family concerns, such as sleeping issues, chore or homework compliance, bids for negative attention, school anxiety or refusal, separation anxiety, etc.
• Parenting struggles, particularly with compliance and discipline
  
• Parents needing to work together in the raising of their children, rather than being "on different pages"
  
• Communication difficulties and conflict among family members
• Leaning ways to negotiate and compromise on changing needs in the family, such as with teenagers who are seeking more freedom and independence
• Walking the family through the process of "the family meeting" and how this can enhance communication, understanding, and cooperation
  
• Challenging and destructive family issues, such as alcohism, abuse, neglect, disordered eating issues, etc.
