Chester Family Therapy

Because relationships are the focus of our work, we offer a variety of therapeutic support. We value the role that relationships have in your lives and recognise that being content with the relationships you have can help you manage other difficulties or dilemmas you might experience. It is well known that stress in other areas of life can often be made more manageable through the important relationships you already have.

I have been offering therapeutic services to families in the local Chester area since 2014. I have worked with families to address problems including bereavement and loss, anxiety management, conflict between family members, and the impact of separated parents. I am a qualified Family Therapist and have been providing psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, and families in the UK for 14 years.

Family life can sometime be difficult especially as a family experiences transitions in life. It is normal to struggle to adjust to normal life transitions though at times the struggle itself can create tension and stress that can feel unsustainable. We can support you to think together as a family about how you can move beyond the stress and tension to find solutions that work.

Couples who have made a commitment to each other often do so because they appreciate what they each bring to each others lives. But being part of a couple often requires continued work and sometimes the stress and strains of life can mean you lose focus on each other. Stress and conflict are often the first signs of a strain in the relationship and it is not unusual that talking is the first thing to go.

Being a parent often requires a 'trial and error' approach, especially as there is no rule book. Some difficulties might be easy to manage whilst others might be more complicated and many parents try to get it as right as they can. Parents often learn how to parent from their own experiences of being parented and this can sometimes mean repeating helpful approaches or discarding ones you found unhelpful growing up.
