The A’s to Your Q’s

How long are family counselling sessions?

Family sessions are typically 75 minutes, giving enough time to address multiple perspectives and create actionable strategies. Longer sessions are available if needed.

Family counselling focuses on improving dynamics across multiple family members, rather than focusing on the romantic relationship. We help each person understand their role and communicate more effectively within the household.
