What is Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a form of counselling focused on improving relationships, communication, and emotional health within the family unit. Unlike individual therapy, family therapy invites everyone’s voice into the conversation, aiming to strengthen the family as a whole. Jammy’s approach centers on understanding each member’s unique perspective and experience, fostering a sense of connection and resilience that benefits everyone.

​

How Jammy’s Approach Can Help Your Family

Jammy uses a variety of therapeutic approaches to address the specific needs of your family. She draws on methods like:

  • Systemic Therapy: To help family members see how their interactions affect each other, creating a more harmonious balance within the family.

  • Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT): To support families in understanding and strengthening their emotional connections, especially during times of high stress or change.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To help identify and shift negative communication patterns into constructive ones.

  • Narrative Therapy: To guide families in reshaping their stories and moving past old challenges.

With Jammy’s guidance, families learn to identify and express emotions, understand one another more fully, and build skills that can strengthen relationships well into the future.
