Counselling for Families

Build Resilient Family Bonds with Philip Boddey’s Expert Family Counselling Services

Foster Harmonious Family Dynamics with Philip Boddey's Expert Family Counselling

In the diverse tapestry of family relationships, knots can occasionally form, particularly when navigating through significant transitions such as separation, divorce, introduction of new family members, or sibling conflicts. Managing these challenges may seem daunting, but through a combination of individual and group counselling, families can learn to better understand one another, moderate behaviours, and enhance their bonds.

Philip Boddey’s Family Counselling Services in Stamford is adept at providing guidance and support to families navigating through significant changes. Whether it’s adapting to new parenting arrangements, integrating new partners into the family home, managing strained relationships teetering on conflict, or coping with the repercussions of home-based violence or oppression, our counselling services are here to help.

A Child Centred Approach

Adjusting to these changes can be particularly tough on the younger members of the family. They often bear witness to situations that may leave a lasting impact on their perceptions and behaviours. Hence, a key aspect of our service is a short course of therapeutic sessions centred around the child’s experiences and needs.

We believe that the most effective way to aid a struggling child or teenager is to give them the opportunity to express their feelings. Leveraging extensive training and experience in addressing issues affecting children and teenagers, Philip offers a nurturing and supportive approach that enables your child to articulate their concerns and emotions.

Confidence & Communication

Our goal is to help your child gain a better understanding of what’s troubling them and guide them towards overcoming these challenges. We aim to bolster their self-esteem, enhancing their confidence in friendships and familial relationships. Moreover, we strive to improve your understanding and communication with your child, making family life and school less of a struggle.

In addition to our services focused on managing children through separation and divorce, Philip also offers counselling for parents and carers, helping them process their thoughts and feelings, and grow in confidence. Together, let’s work towards building a nurturing and harmonious environment for your family.

"I have always found Philip to be polite, friendly and professional, and he always makes my daughter feel at ease - she comes out of her sessions relaxed and calm. Philip allowed me to be there for my daughters first session, so that she and myself were comfortable with him before he started the individual sessions with her. He seems to have a very relaxed and calming way to find out the information from her, e.g. by playing card games whilst talking to her - so this puts her at ease and keeps her occupied whilst she opens up to him. Since my daughter has been seeing Philip on a fortnightly basis, over the last few months, she has made massive improvements. Now she is much more sociable with others, she doesn't isolate herself, and she doesn't seem to worry about things as much nor get as upset like she did before. Her sleeping has also returned to normal. I think Philip is a great counsellor and has changed my daughter's life. I couldn't recommend him enough."
