Frequently Asked Questions

What does a parent-child counsellor do?

A parent-child counselor helps families enhance their relationships and improve communication. They address issues such as behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. Counselors use various techniques to foster understanding and strengthen bonds between parents and children.

Can parent-child counseling help with other aspects of family life?

Absolutely. Parent-child counseling can assist with improving overall family functioning, enhancing parenting skills, managing stress, and creating a more supportive home environment. It can also help with specific issues such as co-parenting after a divorce or integrating new family members.

What should I expect during the first parent-child counseling session?

During the first session, the counselor will typically conduct an assessment to understand your family's dynamics, identify specific challenges, and set goals for therapy. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss any concerns.

What is the role of the parent in parent-child counseling sessions?

Parents play an active role in counseling sessions, participating in activities and discussions alongside their child. They learn new strategies to support their child's development and improve family dynamics, creating a collaborative environment for positive change.

How do I know if my family needs parent-child counseling?

If your family is experiencing ongoing conflicts, communication breakdowns, behavioral issues, or emotional challenges, parent-child counseling might be beneficial. It can provide tools and support to address these issues and improve overall family harmony.

How is behavioral therapy different from parent-child counseling?

Behavioral therapy is about changing behaviors to improve how you cope and interact with others. Parent-child counseling, on the other hand, is about improving how your family gets along. It looks at how you communicate and solve problems together, to make your home life more peaceful and happy.
