We support parents, couples, families and individuals to find a positive direction for the future. We recognise that people are the experts in their own lives and that parents are the experts in terms of their own children. We appreciate that when people seek support they want assistance to get things back on track and to learn ways of independently addressing any issues that might occur in the future.
Family Compass works cooperatively with clients to identify their hopes for the future, find solutions to any obstacles that may be present and plan a way forward that will help them achieve their goals.
When working with two or more people we support clients to understand each person’s needs or wishes and develop a shared direction for the future. We believe that when people are clear about their goals or a shared direction for the future, it makes decision making easier and helps to minimise conflict.
Types of clients
“We are more in need of a vision or destination and a compass (a set of principles or directions) and less in need of a road map. We often don’t know what the terrain ahead will be like or what we will need to go through it; much will depend on our judgement at the time. But an inner compass will always give us direction.”
