When your family shares a
deeper intimacy and respect,
problems between family
members will seem lighter
to bear.

What is family therapy?
Definition:
​
Family therapy is a process through which members of a family unit (biological or step) works with a trained therapist to identify specific areas of conflict and/or dynamics of the functioning of the system they would like to change, and then develops a plan of action to improve each individual’s satisfaction and contentment.
​
Working with a therapist in a safe and confidential setting, families are able to explore how their individual backgrounds, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors may be impacting their relationships in both positive and negative ways. The therapist may assist the family with addressing any immediate and pressing problems, as well as developing strategies for protecting and enhancing the long-term health and happiness of their relationships.
​
Family therapy consists of regular sessions of 50 minutes each. Sessions are charged at R1,030 per session with an additional R170 admin fee payable on the day, if we claim from your medical aid.
