Education & Experience of 
Therapist
Therapists often have doctoral 
degrees, such as PhDs, PsyDs in 
psychology or an MD in psychiatry, 
or a master’s degree in social 
work, counselling or a related 
discipline. Many are members of 
professional organizations and 
have certifications and licenses in 
different forms of therapy. When 
choosing a therapist, make sure 
that their credentials show 
professional experience and 
training in family therapy.
Location and Availability
 If you are looking for a 
family therapist in your area, be 
sure that their location is 
convenient for you and open 
during the hours you need them.
 The Perth therapy practice at the 
Energetics Institute has its office 
in Inglewood, Western Australia, a 
suburb of Perth. We are open from 
10 AM to 7 PM from Monday 
through Saturday, providing 
convenient access for residents of 
Perth and nearby towns and cities.
Length and Number of 
Sessions
How many sessions a 
client needs will 
depend on their 
progress and the 
complexity of the 
issues they need to 
address.
Fees & Insurance
Paying for mental health services 
can be an additional source of 
stress and an obstacle to 
obtaining quality mental health 
care. Compare prices and enquire 
about insurance when considering 
potential therapists.
What to Expect in Family 
Therapy?
Knowing everything you need to know 
about family therapy also means 
knowing what it can offer you. Family 
therapy aims to promote positive family 
interactions and supportive relationships 
within families that help to minimize the 
adverse effects of mental illness, provide 
coping skills, and reduce the stressors 
that negatively affect the quality of life. 
To promote awareness of our therapeutic 
approach at the Energetics Institute, we 
want to teach you everything you need 
to know about family therapy.
How Does Family Therapy 
Work?
There are many different ways 
to implement and structure 
family therapy. Ideally, at some 
point, there should be face-to-
face meetings with family 
members to discuss the 
situation and to allow the 
therapist to observe and reflect 
upon social interactions. There 
will also be individual 
consultations with the client. 
Virtual meetings might enable 
therapists to involve other 
family members if group 
meetings are not feasible.
Family Therapy Exercises
During family therapy, clients and their 
families might participate in therapeutic 
exercises such as:
 Role-Playing
 Group Discussions
 Circular Questioning
 Art Therapy
 Music Therapy
 Psychoeducation
 Skills Training
Benefits of Family Therapy
Family therapy can benefit clients and their 
families in many ways, such as:
 Promoting healthy bonds 
between family members
 Nurturing family structures 
where every person has a 
say
 Providing support to clients 
with mental illness
 Understanding and 
addressing sources of stress 
and toxicity in family 
relationships
