Fortis Therapy & Training is a team of dedicated, qualified therapists, and counsellors, experienced at working creatively with children and young people of all ages through family sessions.
“You’ve got no idea how I feel”. “You don’t understand me”. “I hate you”. “I’m leaving”. “Why do you keep behaving like this”? “Why won’t you listen”?
Sound familiar?
Family therapy is a place where the needs of every family member can be met, making use of traditional talking therapy as well as creative ways of working, to help each member of your family express how they feel and process what is happening.
Start your journey
In family sessions, Fortis therapists create and facilitate a space with you, to work through safely what has been happening to result in family members feeling unhappy, angry, or misunderstood.
Our therapy sessions for families are a place where you have the space to recognise what’s hurt your family along the way, including things that may have happened within your family unit, and help you all to move past these painful points in history.
It’s about unlocking horns that may get crossed on a day-to-day basis, and we do that in several ways. As well as talking and listening we work to meet the needs of your family.
Let us help
We may utilise things that are familiar to you, such as games, to build on your strengths as a family, and rebuild the relationships and systems which underpin it.
We also explore timelines, looking at how each family member’s view point differs and how it affects others.
Our therapy looks at everyone’s role within the family, and what roles you consider each other to have, so everyone becomes more aware of each perspective that exists. Moving on, as a family, from there.
Get in touch
Through family therapy what we’re encouraging you to do is look through each other’s lenses. Every family member will have unique lenses, representing how they view the world and the daily occurrences within it.
Through family sessions, we look to understand each other’s view, step out of each other’s positions within the family, and begin to see how things affect the family as a whole and how to move forward.
