Have you ever felt lost in your closest relationships, wishing the bonds with your partner or family members could be strengthened? This is where relationship therapy and family therapy can make a crucial difference.
What is relationship therapy?
Relationship therapy, often called couples therapy, is a form of therapy that aims to improve communication and resolve conflicts within a relationship. It is not only about solving problems that have already occurred but also about preventing future difficulties by strengthening understanding and cooperation between partners.
What is family therapy?
Similarly, family therapy is a method that involves all family members to build stronger bonds and resolve underlying issues that affect the whole family. It can be particularly beneficial for families where problems have arisen or where individual events have created cracks in the family structure.
What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!
