    In the aim to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to share and explore your concerns with our psychologists, we strive to make sure our office is easily accessible to clients and those interested in taking advantage of our services. We know that the decision to seek help is already a huge step, so we try to make sure the rest of the steps that involve documentation and travel aren’t as difficult. This could hopefully help you and our clients focus on their treatment and their therapy.

    Having a picture-perfect family is not the case for everyone. Then again, no family is without its share of problems or challenges. However, a family with a healthy internal support system would be able to overcome any conflict or disagreement and come out of it stronger and with a more profound love for one another.

    However, specific challenges can be too much even for a strong family unit to conquer. As a result, the rift can create a divisive environment in the home. Communication among members breaks down. The assistance of a professional family counselor can help families who are dealing with any of the following issues.

    • Sibling rivalry – while it’s normal for children to have petty quarrels, extreme cases of sibling rivalry can make it difficult for parents and other family members to deal with the conflict without having to take sides.
    • Life changes – life changes such as a new addition to the family whether by birth or through adoption, a death in the family, children heading off to college (empty nest syndrome), and even parental unemployment.
    • Parents’ separation or divorce – children tend to blame themselves when their parents choose to separate; children can also have reservations when one or both parents remarry or starts to date other people.
    • The teenage years challenges – when a teenager is reluctant about following house rules and the parent is uncompromising.
    • Disabilities – living with a physically disabled family member or someone with a mental disability or issue.

    People Psychology in the Melbourne CBD can help if you and your family are going through any of these problems.

    Competent Psychologists provide family counseling services offered by People Psychology in the Melbourne CBD. The sessions can help clients reach a common ground to solve their problem. It provides an environment wherein every member of the family can be open about their feelings and concerns. This can foster an honest exchange of ideas and desires.

    With the help of the team of Psychologists at People Psychology in the Melbourne CBD, you and your family can look forward to the following benefits that come with counseling.

    • Better communication within the family – conflict in the family can cause members to avoid speaking to one another for a long time. Counseling can be a great way to rebuild the lines of communication that are critical between a parent and a child or among siblings
    • A happier and stronger family – parents and children learn once again how to relate with one another. They have a better understanding and appreciation of one another.
    • Improved coping skills – this is particularly helpful for young children as they can learn techniques on how to deal with similar issues they might encounter later on in their lives.

    Your family should be your stronghold in times of challenges. When the conflict is within your home, then it’s best to seek professional assistance to resolve the issues. Contact People Psychology in the Melbourne CBD if you and your family are faced with a problem that none of you can work out.

    Rest assured the sessions are conducted in complete confidentiality. Let us help you get your family back together again this year. Contact us today!
