Family Counseling
Counseling on parent–child relationships, adolescence, screen use, and family communication.
In family counseling I work with the family as a whole. A difficulty experienced by one member usually affects everyone, so we look for the way forward together.
What can you bring to counseling?
- Parent–child and parent–adolescent communication
- Conflicts and boundary-setting during adolescence
- Screen, smartphone, and social media use by children and parents
- Sibling relationships and differences in parenting attitudes
- Changes that affect the family, such as moving, divorce, or loss
How parents’ preoccupation with their phones (phubbing) affects adolescents, and the effects of sharing content about children online (sharenting), are also among the main topics of my academic work.
How do sessions work?
I usually hold the first session with the parents. We then plan joint or separate sessions with family members as needed. The goal is to find small changes that can be applied at home and accepted by everyone.
Frequently asked questions
Our child does not want to attend; what can we do?
We can start with the parents. Small changes in parental attitudes often carry over to the whole relationship.
Does the whole family have to attend at once?
Not necessarily. We decide together who will take part in the first session.
