Family Counselling
Family counselling provides a supportive space where family members can slow down, listen to one another, and work through challenges together. Whether your family is navigating conflict, communication struggles, or a major life transition, family counselling can help create understanding and rebuild connection. Our goal is to help you and your family strengthen your relationships and develop healthier ways of supporting one another.Team Approach
At Harbour Family Counselling, care is supported by a collaborative team. While you work closely with one counsellor, other members of your family may work with another counsellor who specializes in meeting them where they are. This team approach allows us to draw on a wider range of experience so your family receives thoughtful, well-rounded support throughout your counselling journey.

Scheduling and Payment Questions
-
When you are first starting counselling, it is helpful to book a few sessions (about 3-4) closer together, either weekly or bi-weekly. This allows time for you to share your reasons for coming, collaborate on your goals, and get comfortable with the counselling process.
Depending on your goals, you may decide to continue meeting bi-weekly or every 3 weeks to build on your progress and get the support you need.
Once goals have been met, you may decide to check-in once a month, every 6 weeks, or drop in as needed.
