Sydney Stepfamily Counselling provides support for families, couples, individuals and children of all ages, dealing with the dynamics involved with Stepfamilies by appointment in the Eastern Suburbs.
Couples who are starting out or are in long term relationships that may be having difficulties in their relationship due to conflicts and confusion with being in a stepfamily. We work on couple strength, reducing the potential impact of relationship breakdown.
I provide counselling for individuals seeking guidance either already in a stepfamily relationship, or considering entering into a relationship where step parenting and stepchildren are involved.
I have experience working with children of all ages and work with them to relieve the stress, anxiety and confusion that occur due to living in a new or existing stepfamily. So often I have clients come to me with an issue in their stepfamily that is to do with one or more of the children.
Family counselling is appropriate when moving into a stepfamily. The normal functions of a family of origin change for many reasons. For example, blood ties between members do not exist in stepfamilies.
Mediation is a form of dispute resolution, the mediator being an impartial facilitator in bringing parties together to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The role of the mediator is a neutral one, who does not take sides, through listening to both parties to discuss issues, and develop options in an informal and confidential environment.
