Family Work

Families are complex structures that are bound to each other in many ways, just one family member has the ability to affect everyone else, to break them down, to make them happy, to cause worry, concern or joy. 

Healthy families stay healthy by communicating, by being open and honest about how they feel and by putting in place and maintaining healthy boundaries.

When there is a problem in the family, everyone becomes affected; relationships change, behaviours and attitudes change, individuals make changes to the way they address each other, roles change within the family structure.  This is particularly relevant when a member of the family is addicted to substances or behaviours, everyone retreats into their own world, not saying anything in case they rock the boat, but unhappy in the situation, they feel powerless and angry creating

frustration, isolation and fear.

Issues brought to family therapy include:

To address this work effectively I recommend that the family make a commitment to work through their problems together, one of the most effective ways of doing this is through the use of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP).
