Harmonize Your Family Life with
Professional Counselling
Family Counselling in West Vancouver
Family counselling is a therapeutic approach that involves multiple family members working together with a counsellor to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. This form of counselling acknowledges that family dynamics can be complex and that each family member's behavior and emotions influence the whole. Family counselling offers a safe, structured environment to address and overcome specific issues, such as communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, or challenges related to life transitions. Through collaboration and guided dialogue, families can work together toward healthier, more supportive relationships.

Frequently asked questions
-
What Can I Expect in My First Counselling Session?In your first session with me at Pegah Counselling, firstly, you’ll find a safe and welcoming space. We’ll usually start by discussing what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable. There’s no pressure – just a conversation where your voice is heard and valued. Think of it as the first step on your journey towards self-discovery and healing.
-
How Long Does Each Counselling Session Last?Each counselling session is designed to fit into a standard therapeutic hour, which typically lasts for 50 minutes. This duration allows for a thorough exploration of your concerns while leaving time for summarizing the session and discussing next steps. It’s structured to ensure you receive focused and meaningful support within a manageable timeframe, making it easier to integrate therapy into your busy schedule.
-
How Many Sessions Will I Need?The number of sessions required varies greatly depending on your individual needs, goals, and the nature of the issues you’re addressing. Some clients find significant relief and achieve their counselling objectives within a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support. I would say it takes an average of 6 – 12 sessions.
-
Is Everything We Discuss Confidential?Yes, absolutely! Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the counselling process. Everything discussed in the counselling sessions is kept strictly confidential. I ensure a safe and secure environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or breach of privacy.
