Family Counselling

The pain of addiction is felt not only by the sufferer but can have just as severe repercussions on those who care for and are in relationships with them. The devastating consequences of addiction can cause confusion, misunderstanding and instability for every member of the family. This is not something you have to go through alone.

At Pathways House, we understand the difficulty of these circumstances and can offer you a helping hand. We offer friendly and efficient family counselling and we value the relationship with our patients and most importantly, with their families. These open and honest family counselling sessions help you and your family cope with the stresses and strains of addiction; incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy techniques as well as psychoanalysis.

The counselling sessions are run in a safe and friendly environment, which encourages family members to be more open with one another. The benefits of this is that it enables open communication between all family members. In turn, this improves yours skills in addressing issues within the family dynamics and also allows you to build a stable foundation upon which family members can establish a better functioning and harmonious relationship. Furthermore, family counselling can assist with identifying hidden issues and provide a relevant practical solution. This can also provide personalised advice on dealing with the addictions of someone in the family.

Family counselling can provide family members with the tools that will enable them to build healthy and peaceful relationships and can assist them in their approach to the addiction of a loved one.
