What it can look like.
Every family faces moments where relationships feel strained or stuck. Arguments repeat, emotions run high and misunderstandings grow. Family therapy moves the focus away from blame and towards how the family works together.
- Ongoing tension between siblings
- Constant arguments or big emotional reactions
- Parenting disagreements
- Adjusting to a blended family or separation
- Changes in a child’s or teen’s behaviour
When one person is struggling, it often affects the whole household.
How we approach family therapy
Family therapy is collaborative. Your psychologist works with the family as a whole, never a “problem person”.
- 1
Understanding your child’s experience
Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for your child, including what’s been happening at home and how each person sees it. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.
- 2
Choosing an approach together
Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit your child, then you agree on a plan together.
- 3
Reviewing the plan together
Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you and your child, using measures chosen for your child and what they’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.
What support can include
- Sessions that fit your family Sessions may include everyone, parents only or other combinations, depending on what’s happening.
- Communication tools Practising ways for each person to feel heard.
- Emotion regulation Working on what happens when emotions run high.
- Recognising patterns Looking at the patterns that keep conflict going, without finding a “problem person”.
- Strategies for home Practical tools your family can use between sessions.
Who you’ll see
A psychologist who fits.
You’ll see one of our 25+ psychologists, at Gledswood Hills, Kingswood or online. All our psychologists are registered with AHPRA.
Depth behind the person you see
Your child sees one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.
Trained for the work in front of them
Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.
Enough of us to match your child properly
With 25+ psychologists, we can put your child with someone who works with their age, what’s going on, and how they like to work.
Keeping up, on purpose
New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.
If something isn’t working.
Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.
Ask for a different psychologist
We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.
Talk it through with your psychologist
Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.
Wondering about medication?
If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP or paediatrician with what we’ve found, with your consent.

How does family therapy help?
Family therapy works on communication, conflict and helping each person feel heard and understood. It gives your family tools for difficult conversations, managing emotions and relating to each other differently.
Do all family members need to attend each session?
No. Your psychologist will tailor the structure depending on your family’s needs. Some sessions may include everyone, while others involve parents only, siblings together or individual sessions to better understand each person’s experience.
What if my child or teen doesn’t want to participate?
That’s very normal. We work at a gentle pace and focus on building trust first. Young people are never forced to speak, and many open up naturally once they feel safe and understood.
Can family therapy help separated or blended families?
Yes. Family therapy can support families during separation, co-parenting transitions or when blending families. We work with children and adults on navigating change and new ways of relating.
How long does family therapy take?
It depends on your goals. Some families need only a few sessions, while others continue longer to strengthen new patterns. Your psychologist will work with you to find the right pace and structure.
