about

All families can encounter difficulties, affecting an individual member, a couple, or the family. These difficulties  can at times cause significant mental distress and suffering for everyone in a household or wider family system, making everyday life a struggle. 

As experienced Mental Health clinicians working within the DHB, we continue to work alongside complex mental health presentations,  meeting with families, children, teenagers and couples.

At Family Therapy Collective we believe engaging all members of the family gives the greatest chance to make the necessary changes to reduce distress and suffering.

Family Therapy is recognized to work differently to most therapeutic treatments. We recognize that this form of intervention can feel outside of your comfort zone and challenging.   

The purpose of Family Therapy is to help your family, couple relationship improve communication, seek family solutions to current challenges, understand and manage your unique family situation.  The emphasis is to create better functioning relationships.
