You can avail our in-person counselling sessions, which take place at our Pune branch.

What is Family Relationship Counselling?

Family counselling is a form of psychological counselling to help members of a family to build stronger relationships, have effective communication and to understand each other afresh. These sessions are guided by trained counsellors and psychotherapists.

The issues in a family can start off with small day-to-day life problems and may go on to become bigger concerns. This may especially happen when there’s a teenager in the house and the parents are not getting a guideline on how to have a conversation with their teenager, or when parents have hard time adjusting to the teenager’s changed behaviour.

The goal in family counselling is to identify the issues that occur in family, which could be emotional, behavioural or other, and to address these issues in a correct way.

Why Do You Need Family Relationship Counselling?

In an Indian family setting, we often see that there is one person who is in charge of sorting out the issues that a family or a member of family faces. But at such times, other person’s thoughts or feelings aren’t taking into consideration. There are high chances that bias can take place and things may go wrong. To avoid this, to have a third person perspective and to get impartial guidance, it is important to opt for family counselling.

Family counselling can help one with many different issues. Some of them are:

To adjust with generational change.
To take guidance for parenting.
To deal with stress related to money, land or other properties.
Issues related to extended families.
To know how to communicate better within the family.
To understand other family members’ perspectives.

To set healthy boundaries with family members to have mental peace.
To cope with the death of a loved one.
To get guidance in cases of separation or divorce, especially when children are involved.
Major life transitions.
In cases of coming out.
For psychoeducational purposes.

When to get Family Relationship Counselling?

Family counselling can be opted when the small issues start becoming a huge concern in the family. It can be when two siblings do not get along well, or when parent’s start having concerns in their old age etc. It can be especially helpful if one of the family members is going through any psychological issues, say for example- depression. At such times, family counselling can help in making the family members understand about the issue. The counsellor can also let the family members know what they can do to accelerate progress of treatment for that individual and how to keep the environment at home during such times.
