Families & parents
Family and parenting counselling
Families go through seasons of change: a new baby, separation, a teenager pulling away, illness or loss. Family counselling helps everyone feel heard and find a way forward together. Parents, including single parents, can also come on their own for parenting support.
Common reasons families come
Ongoing conflict or tension at home
Separation, blended families and co-parenting
A child or teen who is struggling
Grief, illness or other big changes
Parenting stress and burnout
How sessions work
Rev. Father Joseph meets with the family members who need to be there, sometimes together and sometimes separately, so that every person's voice is heard and protected. Children and young people take part in ways that suit their age.
See Children, Teens & Young People for how consent and privacy work for young people.
