Family Counselling Services in Swift Current, SK.

Every family has spoken and unspoken rules and roles to to which each member is expected to adhere. Some of these rules and roles may be effective and some may be dysfunctional. Outside influence may also play a role in determining the health of the family and how the family will interact. Maureen works with families to mediate conflict, provide parenting support, heal relationships and supply family members with new skills and practices. Maureen's approach will will utilize different therapies to build and foster a respectful, vibrant family that will strengthen and improve the relationships to create a healthy family dynamic.

We are meant to live in community, and we long to be connected in healthy ways with those that we love. Family is intended to be a secure source of this connection, but past pain and trauma sometimes comes in between a family's ability to provide this safe space. Family therapy allows a therapist to engage with multiple members to understand the aspects contributing to the breakdown in communication, loss of trust and ultimately the loss of connection and security. I am passionate about strong families being the foundation to healthy individuals and a healthy socieity, and I would love to walk this journey of healing along with you and your loved ones.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. A combination of individual and joint sessions will take place to allow the space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds holding you back from having a healthier relationship.
