What is Family Counselling and Psychotherapy?
Listening 2 U provides person-centred, integrative counselling and psychotherapy in Lincoln, along with secure online and telephone sessions available across the UK. We offer compassionate, trauma-informed care to support emotional wellbeing and growth within the family unit.
Family therapy, also known as systemic therapy, is an approach that works with families and those who are in close relationships to foster change. These changes are viewed in terms of the systems of interaction between each person in the family or relationship.
Cost of sessions
Sometimes families and those in relationships get into difficulties due to their differences, or feel the strain when people they care about have troubles. The aim of therapy is to work on these problems by encouraging family members and loved ones to help and empathise with each other and work together to find away forward. It important to give the opportunity to understand and appreciate each other's needs, build on family strengths and ultimately make useful changes in their lives and relationships.
Essentially, by evaluating these issues and providing support, family therapy can help families and individuals to:
What to Expect in a Session
Each counselling session lasts approximately 50 minutes.
Your counsellor will not tell you what to do, give advice, or offer direct solutions. Instead, they will listen to you with empathy and understanding, supporting you as you explore your thoughts and feelings to help find your own answers.
Sessions are private and confidential, unless there is a safeguarding concern, which will be explained to you in advance. It is a safe, non-judgmental space where you are free to speak openly about what’s on your mind.
A Safe Space for Reflection
The counselling room offers a break from the demands of everyday life—a space just for you. The time between sessions is equally important, allowing you to reflect and begin applying insights gained during your sessions.
