How it helps

Family therapy understands difficulties in the context of relationships rather than blaming any one person. It draws on systemic and attachment-based approaches with good evidence for adolescent difficulties, family conflict and adjustment to change.

Sessions help family members truly hear each other, shift unhelpful patterns and rebuild connection.

Who it's for

Families navigating conflict, communication breakdown, a young person's difficulties, separation, grief or major change.

What it helps with

  • Family conflict
  • Communication
  • Adolescent difficulties
  • Separation & blended families
  • Grief & change
  • Parenting

What to expect

First family session

We meet together to understand everyone's perspective and the patterns at play.

Understanding patterns

We map the cycles that keep conflict or distance going.

Structured work

Sessions rebuild understanding, communication and connection.

Consolidation

Your family leaves with shared tools and a way forward.

Fees & funding

Family therapy is generally not Medicare-rebatable, as the rebate applies to a diagnosed individual condition rather than the family. Some private health 'extras' contribute — check with your insurer. We'll confirm the fee before your first session.

Common questions

Who needs to attend?
It depends on your goals — sometimes the whole family, sometimes a few members. We'll agree this together.
Can children take part?
Yes, in developmentally-appropriate ways; your clinician will guide how and when.
Is it covered by Medicare?
Generally no, as it isn't treatment of one diagnosed individual. Some private health extras may apply.
Is telehealth available?
Yes — family sessions can run by secure video where suitable.
