Online Family Therapy
About this therapy
Martine is a trained and experienced couples and family therapist having completed training in 2006. She has worked with a significant number of couples and families to support the resolution of often long term relationship distress and to support couples and families to find ways to heal relationships and find new ways of communicating. This therapy is based on solution oriented therapy to support the nurturing of relationships and the support participants to express themselves in a safe and respectful way.
Family Therapy helps people in a close relationship help each other. It enables family members, couples and others who care about each other to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, to understand each other’s experiences and views, appreciate each other’s needs, build on strengths and make useful changes in their relationships and their lives. Individuals can find Family Therapy helpful, as an opportunity to reflect on important relationships and find ways forward.
Research shows Family Therapy is useful for children, young people and adults experiencing a very wide range of difficulties and experiences. Family therapists shifted the focus of treatment in a way that allowed for social context, communication and relationship to have primary importance in therapy.
This way of working involves engaging with the whole family system as a functioning unit. While the individuals in the family are as important in family therapy as in individual therapy, family therapists also deal with the personal relations and interactions of the family members, both inside the family and in the therapeutic system which comprises the family, the therapist or therapists, and their broader community.
