Family Therapy
Family therapy helps families deal with issues that specifically affect their mental health. It can improve communication, help family members build stronger relationships, and resolve conflicts within the family system. In addition, family therapy can improve the interaction and relationships among family members, leading to a positive outcome for the relationship.
A primary goal of family therapy is to improve the home environment, solve family problems, and understand the unique challenges that families may face.

- Imparting Parenting Skills
- Child counselling

Child & Adolescent Counselling
Counselling is beneficial to children as well as adults. Children and adolescents benefit from counselling in many ways, including understanding the causes of their distress, becoming better at asking for help and expressing emotions, and developing problem-solving skills.
In our approach to child/adolescent counselling, we emphasize strengths and utilize a holistic approach. Our goal is to identify and further develop an individual’s strengths, while at the same time reducing distress and enhancing their coping mechanisms.
Parenting
Parenting is a joy, but it also comes along with its fair share of challenges. As every parent strives to instil life skills for daily and social living in their children, they all aspire to raise independent, resilient and self-motivated children. Often, in families with more than one child, the parenting style and approach that worked for one child may not work for the next as every child comes with a unique personality, which might overwhelm the parents. Though each child is unique in its being, the common issues for which parents reach out for parenting therapy are:
- Preparing the older children for integrating the new sibling, Sibling rivalry and safe interaction
- Parenting through significant life events like trauma, loss of a loved one, divorce, adoption or relocation
- Emotional Dysregulation and Behavioral issues like school refusal, truancy and stealing/ shoplifting
- Motivation, goal setting and self-esteem development
- Parenting skills to navigate different developmental stages of the child with effective communication
- Skills coaching for Single parenting, Co-parenting, Step-parenting and Empty-Nesters
How Can Insightful Counselling Be There For You?
- Age-appropriate therapy techniques are used for children’s counselling.
- The chosen therapy approach is largely dependent on the age and the presenting issue and may include free play, art therapy, narrative therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
- Often times an integrated therapy model is applied in conjunction with separate or conjoint sessions with the parents.
