Family therapy
Parents and grown children, in one room or in two
For families who want to understand each other better, and who want to decide together who is in the room.
A family session is 80 minutes. We usually meet first with the person who wrote to us, then decide with them who else to invite. Everyone in the room is an adult, and each person speaks in the language they are most at ease in. Your therapist does not take sides, and does not decide for you.

Three questions
About family therapy
Can we use different languages in the same session?
Yes, if your therapist speaks them. A parent may speak Gujarati and a grown child English, and the therapist can work with both.
Do I have to bring my whole family?
No. Many family sessions are two people. We decide together who joins and when.
What if a family member does not want to come?
Then the session goes ahead with the people who do. Nobody is pressured, and we will not contact anyone for you.
