Family Counselling and Family Therapy in Burlington and Hamilton, ON

Family Counselling is a method of helping individuals by helping the whole family. It sees the family members as part of a fairly stable system, each person playing a part to maintain the repetitive patterns of relating that are operating in the family.

For example, if one person is seen as "the problem", the therapist would help each of the others to see the ways in which they unconsciously support or contribute to the "problem" and even the ways in which the present family patterns may unconsciously serve each member. Families come to see how interdependent they are, and gradually they learn ways to work together to co-create new patterns or systems which make everyone happier. Each family member learns how making changes in Self makes it easier for other family members to make changes too. If mistrust is high or anyone feels hurt by the process we may see two people at a time or even one at a time until more trust is evident. If any one family member changes, the whole system is affected and others will eventually make changes too.

Karyl Pope Family Counselling and Family Therapy

June's Testimonial:
"If you met me five years ago you would have seen a seemingly confident, successful, happy person. You wouldn't have known that inside I was crushed, insecure and in an abusive relationship. When I first walked into to Karyl Pope and Associates, Karyl saw right through my false front. Even though I didn't want to believe what Karyl said to me, I knew she was right. She gave me the hope and the tools so that my life could get better. Through one-on-one counselling and attending one of her weekly groups, I worked through much of my past history, became more aware of my current behavior and literally transformed my life.

Today I am a different person. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I had not met Karyl Pope & Associates. Looking back, I was on a one way road to misery. Karyl stuck by me, challenged and encouraged me to take another path. I have also watched her work with other people and assist in bringing about miraculous changes. Karyl truly cares and wants the very best for her clients. She is a shining light."

Sincerely,
June Hulley
