What can family therapy help with?

A huge range of issues can be assisted to some degree or another. Most behaviours, problems and habits can be assisted. 

More complex cases such as deep lack of self esteem, severe phobias, depression, anxiety, emotional problems, anger management, severe stress and so forth respond well, especially when combined with clinical methods.  Of course all medical / clinical issues must be in conjunction with support from a medical doctor. These can all effect individuals or be problems caused by interpersonal relations, personal conflict or group dynamics being negative.

No claim is made to CURE any medical condition. We work WITH medical doctors and never seek to replace them. You should always seek medical advice and attention for any actual or suspected medical condition or injury.

Qualifications. What do I look for in Therapy?

Most complementary health and counselling / psychotherapy methods of therapy do not have statutory registers. 

There are National Occupational Standards for Counselling and Hypnotherapy which are closely related therapies, as well as a range of other related NOS standards, and these are the true measure of the quality of service. These apply to a great number of complementary therapies.

There are two main vocational qualification routes for non medical qualification (some university courses also exist, of varying quality). :

NVQ Accreditation via the Advice and Guidance and other NVQ  Awards, such as Training and Development. Indeed there is an actual C25 Coaching unit.
ASET accreditation via Counselling, Social Work Competence, Social work and Mental Health, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Counselling, Life Coaching, Nutritional Therapy, and Psychotherapy Awards. 

You are strongly advised to look for adherence to National Occupational Standards, ASET / NVQ accreditation and membership of a substantial professional body such as an appropriate Royal Society or therapist register. Being registered with a professional body ensures ongoing monitoring and adherence to a code of conduct and ethics.
