FAMILY THERAPY
Family is the most important thing to most of us, so when it starts to go wrong and family members fall out, it can feel devastating. It’s not easy to ask for help either as the temptation is to push your worries under the carpet and hope they will go away, or to feel ashamed of how your family isn’t working.
Therapy can help as often family fall-outs are a result of poor communication, lack of respectful boundaries, low self-esteem and poor self-care. It may seem difficult to believe that improving these specific areas can hugely impact how a family gets on, but it can.

family and relationship therapy
Here at Charter we assess you separately and together so that you feel heard and understood in your individual difficulties, perspectives and have realistic goals established within a care plan.
We are here to support you to better understand what is going on for you, how to express that and also how to listen with an open mind. We encourage you to explore the resentments that cause prejudice and the lack of boundaries that are often present in any communication break down.
Families are the original social group and a huge influence in how we interact socially, who we attract and the roles we inhabit. We are products of our childhoods – but once you become conscious of that influence you have a chance to adjust and become the person you want to be in any relationship. Denial of childhood priming can prevent you from seeing how you might be contributing to your own unhappiness. But where there’s a pattern there’s a clue, so exploring these influences in therapy can be a powerful opportunity for change.
Mandy Saligari‘s well-established relationship with the independent schools sector means that we font have an opportunity for early intervention working with parents and families to understand and introduce changes to improve the family dynamic or treat a particular issue, such as self destructive behaviours.
