How does family counselling work in Leeds?

When you start your family therapy at Lavendla, you will meet your therapist regularly. Firstly, the therapist will help you identify the types of challenges you are facing as a family. They will then draw up a treatment plan with you.

The plan usually involves setting a timeline, agreeing on how often you will meet, and setting goals for the therapy. As family therapy often involves different ages, conversations, activities and other exercises are customised to ensure that everyone feels they are contributing to and benefiting from your family therapy.

What does it cost to attend a family counselling session?

The cost of family counselling varies. To get an idea of your treatment, it is always best to book an initial appointment with one of our family therapists. The average price for an initial session is usually £60 – £100 and most counsellors offer 45, 60 and 90 minute sessions. They will then ask you questions about your situation and, based on that, propose a treatment plan to give you an idea of the cost. Book an appointment today with one of our family therapists and they will help you further.

Can family counselling help with divorce?

Yes, family therapy can help with a divorce. Even if you have decided to separate, family therapy can play an important role in your parenting and the well-being of your children. During a divorce, it is not uncommon for many intense emotions to bubble up in everyone in the family.

Family therapy can help you as parents and adults to look after the needs of both you and your children in what can in many ways feel like a daunting situation. A family therapist can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you separate without jeopardising the well-being of your children and yourself.

Is family therapy in Leeds suitable for all ages?

Yes, family therapy is adapted for all ages and takes into account the needs of each family member. A large part of its purpose is to help everyone in the family see each member’s own needs and circumstances, so you can build healthy communication around this.

How long does a family therapy session take?

A family therapy session is usually about 60 minutes. At Lavendla we offer 45, 60 and 90-minute sessions. The length that suits you best will be agreed with your family therapist.

It may also be that sessions vary in length based on what you do during the session. A conversation might be kept to 60 minutes, while a simple exercise only needs 45 minutes. A big part of family therapy is learning the tools you can use between sessions and then evaluating with your therapist.

Do all family members need to participate in the therapy?

Family therapy is always helped by the participation of all members of your family. However, therapy can also be effective even if some family members are unable or unwilling to participate.

Is the family counselling done online in Leeds?

Yes, many of Lavendla’s therapists offer online family therapy. The advantages are that it makes it easier for you to participate no matter where you are. It can also be a good solution if your life is already hectic and demanding enough as it is, as online sessions offer greater flexibility.

For families where you don’t live together for various reasons, online is also a popular option. Sometimes online meetings are also combined with face-to-face meetings where family members who cannot attend a face-to-face meeting still participate online. There are no bad solutions when it comes to getting closer as a family. Lavendla’s family therapists always respond to your needs and wishes as best they can, so don’t hesitate to book an initial session and agree on a tailor-made solution for you today.

What role do children play in family therapy?

When it comes to family therapy, the role of children is central. Your family therapist will actively work to give your children a safe place to express their feelings and thoughts.

Your children can often help provide a deeper understanding of your family dynamics and can be the key to successful solutions. Lavendla family therapists often use creative and age-appropriate methods to engage your children in therapy.
