individual & family therapy

With years of experience treating problematic behaviours in teenagers, Optimistic Counselling provides in-home family therapy as well as individual counselling using psychoanalytic, humanistic, and cognitive behavioral approaches to support you when facing life’s challenges. Operating from a strengths perspective that focuses on the human potential for growth and resilience, we use principles from psychotherapy and psychodynamic theory, to help clients achieve wholeness through an integration of the self.

In family therapy, the focus shifts from the self to Structural Family Therapy. This parent-friendly approach and emphasises team working and practical problem solving, gives clear feedback and responds to the presenting problems. This approach is enlightening for families and organizations, and avoids using covert methods of intervention.
