Family Counselling includes many members of the family in the therapy

​

Rather than just seeing the person with the problem; family counselling views the problem from a whole family perspective.  Often this means that there are things going on in the structure of the family that have played a part in creating the problem.

​

The identified ‘person with the problem’ is often a symptom of the bigger family issues.

​

Family counselling can be extrememly powerful and effective and has long term benefits

​

As the Counsellor I work towards providing a safe place for exploration, understanding, growth and change to happen within the family.  Often the family is seen with different people in the system ie. parents; siblings; parents and children; individuals and extended family may also be included.

​

Step and blended families

​

Family Counselling can be very effective when working with newly formed families: for example step families and blended families and all the difficulties and confusion that can emerge at these times.

​

Separation and divorce

​

Family Counselling can also be beneficial for when there are issues around separation; divorce; access arrangements and other concerns families face at these times. Jenn works with families across the Geelong and Barwon Region.
