Contact information
Couple and Family Counselling for Intercultural Families
In Familia's couple and family counselling, we can identify factors affecting the well-being of intercultural families. You can contact us, for example in questions related to relationships, parenting, raising children, multilingualism or divorce and blended families. Our support is culturally sensitive and respects the views of each couple or family.
Counselling can help you find new perspectives, identify resources, and guide you to utilise and increase them. Counselling is based on peer-to-peer, discussion and dialogue. Your goal may be, for example: Strengthening your connection with your spouse, finding new ways of communication, or improving interaction. You can also come to the counselling to discuss your own thoughts or experiences without a major goal. Just talking out loud about your own thoughts or feelings can help you perceive and structure your life situation from a new perspective.
You can come to counselling alone or together and even if the relationship has ended. In this situation, we can discuss questions, feelings and experiences related to the separation together (not including legal advice). If necessary, we can also map out other services and support suitable for your family's situation.
Couples and family counselling includes 1-5 face-to-face or online meetings and is free of charge. Counselling is available in Finnish, English and Spanish.
