Family Therapy & Support Services – Gladesville

We provide therapeutic support but not emergency crisis services. If your family is currently in crisis, please visit our Crisis Support page for immediate assistance or contact emergency services if there is immediate risk.

Families often seek therapy when communication becomes difficult, conflict escalates, changes feel overwhelming, or when a child’s wellbeing is impacted. If challenges are affecting daily life or relationships, professional support can provide clarity and direction.

Yes. Therapy can support co-parenting, transitions, strengthening communication between households, and helping children adjust to change. Sessions are structured to ensure emotional safety for everyone involved.

Family therapy supports a wide range of concerns, including communication breakdowns, parent–child conflict, separation or blended family transitions, emotional or behavioural concerns in children, grief, trauma, and stress affecting family functioning.

No referral is required. However, some family-focused sessions may be eligible for Medicare rebates when the work aligns with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. We can advise you on the best pathway before your first appointment.

Yes. Children and adolescents often play an important role in the family system. Sessions can include children directly, or involve parent-only consultations depending on the child’s age, developmental stage, and presenting concerns.

Yes. We provide secure telehealth sessions for families across NSW. Telehealth can be useful for families with busy schedules, separated households, or when multiple members are joining from different locations.

Most families attend between 6–8 sessions, depending on the concerns, goals, and willingness of members to participate. Some families benefit from short-term support, while others choose longer-term work to address more complex patterns.

Family therapy sessions involve guided conversations that help family members understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and work through patterns contributing to conflict or distress. The psychologist will structure the session around the family’s goals and may meet with the whole family together or with individuals when clinically appropriate.
