The underlying notion in this kind of therapy is that even individual problems often have roots in the couple’s system, and to treat the problem, both partners should be involved in working towards the solution. The aim is therefore, to psychologically modify the interaction of two persons who are in conflict with each other over one parameter or a variety of parameters – social, emotional, sexual or economic.
As such, couples therapy is highly effective in helping couples to resolve interpersonal conflict, to reverse or change ineffective patterns of behaviour, to enhance communication and to encourage personality growth and development.
Please note that forensic services (court work) are provided. However, these services will only be conducted in a multi-professional team setting. Each forensic request will first be assessed by the team prior to acceptance of the case. Should the case be accepted, details regarding structure, fee and so forth, will be discussed.

Family Therapy
Family therapy can be described as a therapeutic intervention that focuses on altering the interactions between and among family members.
Couples Therapy
The goal of couples therapy, similar to that of family therapy, is to treat problems from the perspective of bringing together all involved parties.

Play therapy is a process whereby the trained therapist allows the child to explore, at his or her own pace and with his or her own agenda, those issues past or current, that is affecting the child’s life in the present.
