A client is a family who are struggling with a teenager and having increasing difficulty in communication and high levels of conflict. The impact would be on all members of the family and how they handle this degree of stress. It might be that there is one family member who is most distressed or concerned by the situation and are the most motivated to seek help to resolve the difficulties.
I would perhaps initially see either one or both parents and offer them a space to describe the situation - I would pay particular attention to their relationship and how they express themselves. I would use a systemic approach based on 30 years of working with young people and their families using and open non-judgmental insight into their difficulties.
I would offer them a space that is safe and comfortable to share their concerns. I would listen carefully and reflect with them how I might help them. I would make sure they had all the relevant information about how to contact me and what to do should their be a crisis. I would endeavour to accommodate appointments at a time that is convenient for them.

I work with relationships with couples, parents and children. I use the sessions in a relaxed and calm way to explore communication and how it impacts relationships. I encourage empathy and listening .I explore the impact of trauma and early childhood experiences that can inform on how we parent and show feelings. I try to create a safe place to reflect and enable resolution.
