What to Expect
​Family Systems Counselling is dynamic. It provides the space for each family member to express their thoughts, feelings, concerns and insights, to feel heard, acknowledged and valued.
​
The process varies from family to family, but generally consists of a combination of group & individual sessions, with various combinations of 1 or more family members and at times the whole family. Immediate and extended family members, teachers or clergy can if included as relevant. Sometimes it will be in your best interest to incorporate a home-visit into your program as well.
Jeannette will assign practical 'homework' to test run the strategies you have developed in your sessions in your home setting. This ensures the integration of the therapy into your daily lives.
