Family Concerns

Families are hard work. Whether you're a traditional family unit, a single parent, a step family or a non-resident parent - keeping everyone happy can be tough. Family tensions are particularly common place when going through a time of change and transition, for example after bereavement or a new birth, during divorce or separation, moving home or changing school.

Children's behaviour often changes and some will manage the stress of change in a way that causes disruption and/or anxiety for other family members. As a parent it can be difficult to know if a child's behaviour is a cause for concern or if it's just 'normal'. Sometimes relationships in the home that had previously run smoothly can become very tense indeed.

Some people find family therapy is helpful for them to explore the changes they need to make but keeping regular appointments or the length of the waiting list is difficult for many. Contacting an expert online for a one-off consultation can help you to make sense of the many complexities of family change as well as giving you some ideas for how you can make life easier for all.
