creating stronger families - Ashley Dreger, MACP

Family Counselling

Family counselling focuses on helping families reconnect and build stronger relationships. It aims to foster a positive home atmosphere, address discipline challenges, and support adolescents and children in managing their emotions effectively.

Sessions are grounded in Family Systems Therapy, a form of psychotherapy that addresses individual difficulties within the context of the family unit. This approach emphasizes understanding and improving relationship dynamics, based on the principle that changes affecting one family member inevitably impact the entire family.

Blended Families

Blended families often face unique challenges, such as integrating traditions, values, and parenting approaches. Counselling offers guidance in navigating these complexities to build stable, harmonious relationships where every family member feels supported and valued.

Adoption

Adoption is a rewarding journey, but it can also present challenges. Families may encounter difficulties as a child adjusts to a new environment, particularly if they have experienced past trauma or struggle with trust and attachment. Counselling focuses on fostering understanding, building strong bonds, and creating a safe, supportive family dynamic for all members.

Parent Consultations

Parent consultations provide tools and strategies to manage children’s behavior effectively. Rooted in positive parenting principles, these sessions help parents understand developmental stages and adopt constructive approaches to guide their children toward success. This often leads to improved listening from children and reduced conflict within the home.
