Family, Couples, and Child Therapy

Best Family, Couples, and Child Therapy | Manipal Hospitals

Family, couples, and child therapy are essential branches of clinical psychology that focus on relationships, communication patterns, and emotional dynamics within families and partnerships. At Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road, Bangalore, we provide specialised therapy designed to strengthen bonds, resolve conflicts, and support healthy development in children and adolescents. These therapies recognise that mental health challenges often affect, and are affected by, family systems and interpersonal relationships. By involving multiple family members or partners, therapy can foster understanding, empathy, and collaborative problem-solving.

Types of Therapy Offered:

  • Family Therapy: Family therapy involves working with families as a unit to address issues such as communication breakdowns, behavioural problems in children, caregiving stress, and coping with chronic illness.

  • Couples Therapy: Couples therapy supports partners in resolving relational difficulties such as trust issues, communication problems, infidelity, sexual concerns, and life transitions (e.g., parenting, career changes).

  • Child and Adolescent Therapy: Children and adolescents face unique developmental and emotional challenges that require specialised therapeutic approaches. Our team works with young clients to address issues including anxiety, behavioural disorders, academic difficulties, trauma, and social skills deficits.

  • Parenting Support and Guidance: Parents and caregivers receive counselling to manage challenges such as discipline, child development concerns, and co-parenting after separation or divorce. Our psychologists provide strategies to enhance parenting skills, improve parent-child relationships, and foster emotional resilience in children.

  • Crisis and Grief Support for Families: Families facing acute crises such as loss, divorce, or sudden illness can access targeted counselling to manage grief, trauma, and adjustment difficulties. The goal is to stabilise the family system and support healthy coping through collaborative sessions.

  • Therapeutic Process at Our Bangalore Unit: Initial assessments involving individual and systemic evaluation of family dynamics and relational history, collaborative goal-setting to ensure all voices are heard and respected, flexible session formats, including joint, personal, and subgroup meetings, depending on therapeutic needs.

  • Parenting challenges and child behavioural problems

  • Marital dissatisfaction and intimacy issues

  • Divorce, separation, and blended family adjustment

  • Emotional and behavioural disorders in children and adolescents
