Family Driving You Crazy?
Family relationships can be a source of connection and support, and they can also be complex, painful, and emotionally charged. Coming from a family of 6 myself, I have a deep appreciation for the complex mix of emotion that can come from family dynamics from love, fun and commitment to frustration, pain and loss. Counselling can provide you with a safe, supportive space to work through difficult family dynamics and explore your experiences openly—perhaps for the first time.
Working Together
Together, we look at how past and present family patterns may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, sense of identity, and relationships with others. This might involve exploring roles within the family, communication breakdowns, unresolved conflict, or the lingering impact of unmet emotional needs. For some clients, it may also include exploring experiences of control, neglect, or dysfunction.I will work at your pace, helping you build clarity and insight around the dynamics you’ve been navigating.
We will also explore the emotional toll—such as guilt, anger, loyalty conflicts, or grief—that often accompanies these situations.Throughout our work, I will support you in developing healthier boundaries, increasing your emotional resilience, and making conscious choices about how you want to relate to family members moving forward. This could mean finding new ways to engage in relationships, or creating space from patterns that are no longer helpful or safe.
My aim is to empower you to feel more grounded in yourself, even when family life feels unpredictable or challenging—so you can begin to move forward with greater clarity, strength, and self-compassion.
