What is family counselling and what is your role in it?

In my opinion, Family counselling is a type of therapy that focuses on helping families improve their relationships and communication skills. It is designed to help families resolve conflicts, build stronger relationships, and develop healthier communication patterns. Through family counselling, individuals and families can learn to better understand one another and learn to resolve conflicts in a healthy and productive way. Family counselling can also help family members to better understand their own feelings and those of their family members. It provides an opportunity for families to work together to create positive change and build a more harmonious and connected family. Family counselling can be beneficial for families dealing with divorce, adoption, illness, addiction, death, or any other significant life event. It can also be beneficial for families who are struggling with communication, parenting, or other issues. My role as a psychologist in family counselling is to provide guidance, create a safe environment, identify issues, develop tailored strategies, facilitate communication, promote boundaries, offer education and resources, monitor progress, and collaborate with other professionals.
