Person-centred therapy for partners, parents and families

FaRS is not for crisis situations or overcoming mental health issues – it’s family counselling for anyone ready to commit to improving their relationships long term. Every story matters, whether you’re a single parent, a couple with or without children, or an entire family unit. Our team walks the journey with you to get where you want to go.

In an ideal world, you, your partner or family will stay together. Yet even if you separate, the skills you learn will serve you well as you navigate the responsibilities of co-parenting and family life from afar, like talking to each other with kindness and respect, or staying calm when stressed. As you better understand how to communicate and diffuse situations, life becomes easier and happier together.

The path to better relationships

The FaRS program is designed to set you up for success, surrounding you with the support you need to modify unhealthy behaviours through better communication, parenting styles and strategies. Everything we do in our time together is driven by you and what you feel you need. As you progress through your family counselling, family therapy, person centred therapy or CBT, you’ll learn to make changes that allow you to take control over your feelings so that no matter what life or relationship challenges are thrown at you, you’re able to handle the situation on your own.
