Family Counselling on the Sunshine Coast

Family counselling, also called family therapy, is a type of counselling for families that helps improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships in a safe, supportive environment.

Family counselling on the Sunshine Coast is ideal for parents, children, couples, and blended families. If you’re a parent, you may also find our Parent Support resources helpful.

Counselling provides tools to improve parent-child communication, manage challenging behaviours, and support children’s emotional wellbeing. Our family therapy sessions focus on building understanding and practical solutions. You can also explore our Parent Support page for additional strategies.

Family counselling services can help with conflict between family members, communication difficulties, blended family dynamics, parenting stress, grief, separation, relocation, or other major life changes. For grief-specific support, see our Grief and Loss Counselling page. Communication issues can also be addressed through Relationship Counselling.

During in-person family counselling sessions on the Sunshine Coast, you'll find a supportive environment where your family can improve communication, practice effective strategies, and strengthen your connections.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly or fortnightly depending on your family’s needs. Each counselling session is tailored to create positive change for your unique family situation.

While having everyone present is ideal, some sessions can involve just parents or guardians to focus on strategies that support the whole family. Alternatively, if parents would like to book in for parent support sessions or individual sessions for themselves or their child or teen in tandem or as one offs for more focused support they are more than welcome to do so. Our family counselling sessions are designed to be flexible to meet your family’s needs.

Family therapy can help blended families navigate new dynamics, improve communication between step-parents and children, and build stronger family bonds. Sessions are tailored to address each family’s unique challenges. You may also find our Parent Support page helpful.

Family counselling can offer emotional support, help process feelings, and strengthen connections during times of grief or loss. For specialised support, visit our Grief and Loss Counselling page.
