Family is one of the most important relationships in your life. Building trust with and feeling seen by your family through communicating effectively with each member and having difficult conversations at home is something we can help you and your family achieve through Family Counselling.
During hard times, many families might become highly volatile and emotional, causing conflicts to arise frequently and strain relationships. Although each family has their own way of dealing with disputes, they may not always be sufficient. Family Counselling provides a platform for you and your family to express your doubts and emotions healthily and thus, overcome difficulties as a team by building trust with each other and working together.
Our counsellors employ a variety of therapeutic modalities for family counselling including but not limited to Systemic Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as Person-Centered Therapy, to name a few.
Family counselling helps to reduce the levels of distress in your family and minimise the frequency of miscommunication. By providing you with a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings, family counselling can give you and your family the opportunity to understand each other better and look at the problem through each other’s perspectives. You will build stronger bonds with your family members, which will greatly ease the process of conflict resolution.
When we feel like we are not being heard or understood by our family, we tend to disengage from them and stop putting in effort to open up. Although avoidance may seem like the easier path, ignoring the problem – instead of talking about it – will only cause it to grow bigger. Having a platform for open and effective communication is important in ensuring that each family member is on the same page and working together to explore solutions for the problems faced. Family counselling provides that platform so that your family can address the important issues and communicate openly with one another.
Aside from resolving family problems, family counselling also helps to deepen connections in the family as it facilitates a safe space to have authentic conversations with other family members and build rituals and connections that bring family members closer to each other.
Our team of trained and certified therapists can help your family to communicate effectively, and work proactively to resolve conflicts. They have years of experience in assisting clients in conflict resolution by exploring effective and healthy solutions for them, through usage of a variety of frameworks and therapeutic modalities.
Family counselling in Singapore is heavily underlooked. At Incontact, we provide a calming, safe and non-judgemental space where you and your family will be able to express your honest thoughts and feelings to each other freely.
Our SAC certified therapists are trained in a variety of interventions and therapeutic modalities for work with families including Systemic Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as Person-Centered Therapy.
Every family will go through some of these problems, and some might face greater challenges than others. When that happens, relationships between family members might become more difficult as every member feels the stress and expresses it in certain behaviors. If your family is going through a hard time and this is causing a breakdown in relations, be assured that you are not alone.
During family counselling, our therapists play a more facilitative role by observing and studying family roles and behavior patterns as each family member expresses their feelings. This allows them to better understand and identify the problems that contribute to conflicts arising at home. By doing so, our therapists will also be able to pinpoint your family’s individual and collective strengths and help you build upon them to allow for better conflict management and resolution. Our family counselling process highlights the involvement of each individual family member in putting in the effort to work with the therapist in order to understand themselves and each other.

Answer: It is highly encouraged that all family members attend counselling sessions. In order for family counselling to work, every member has to play a role in ensuring that they are considerate and sensitive towards others’ feelings and opinions. Furthermore, effective communication can only develop in the family if everybody is present and actively making efforts for change.
Answer: While some families may find it easier to solve problems on their own, not all families function the same way and deal with the same problems. Sometimes, seeking external or professional help may be more beneficial than trying to solve the problem on your own – which may cause even more conflict and misunderstanding. Family therapy can help your family pinpoint the issues that you are facing and explore ways to address them positively. Family therapy also can give your family a safe space to express your thoughts and emotions and communicate effectively.
Answer: The cost per session differs depending on the therapist selected and can be seen under our ‘Fees & Terms’ page. Each session generally lasts between an hour to an hour and a half. The number of sessions needed depends on a number of factors including the specific purpose of seeking therapy, the goals set by the client during therapy as well as the willingness of family members to cooperate with the therapist.
