Filial Family Therapy
Filial Therapy is a family focused intervention designed to support parents and caregivers to be the driving force for therapeutic change in their children’s lives. The intervention provides parents with training in play therapy skills so they can use these techniques to support their own children. The primary focus of Filial therapy lies in strengthening the parent-child relationship, empowering parents, and enhancing their connection with their children.
Through Filial therapy, children can better understand their emotions, nurture their ability to solve problems, reduce challenging behaviours and enhance family trust. The intervention helps parents better understand their child’s inner world, fostering a stronger bond and acquiring therapeutic skills to better support their children at home.
Research strongly supports the benefits of involving parents in the therapeutic process, leading to faster and more and longer-lasting positive changes. Your therapist will discuss further with you about how sessions are facilitated and tailored to suit your family dynamics.
