On the other hand, family counselling focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships within the family unit. By addressing interpersonal dynamics and exploring family patterns, family counseling fosters understanding, empathy, and cohesion among family members. Both forms of counselling aim to promote emotional well-being, enhance coping skills, and empower individuals and families to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
