When the whole family is carrying something.
Longer, 90-minute sessions that make room for everyone to speak — parents, teenagers, siblings and extended family.
Written by Elza Berk, Founder & registered counsellor · ASCHP WCW/271 · 20+ years’ clinical experience · Updated 28 September 2026
Everyone gets a voice.
Families often get stuck because the same few people do all the talking. A family session slows things down so that each person is heard — including the quiet ones.
Teenagers aged 13 to 17 can take part with written consent from a parent or guardian.
