Family of origin work focuses on healing past wounds that occurred in childhood and from one’s familial relationships. Often traumas experienced within one’s childhood home become emotional blocks to leading a healthy life in adulthood.

Abbotsford Valley Counselling focuses on family of origin work with all clients. This can be achieved by incorporating attachment theory. The central theme of attachment theory is that the attachment pattern a child has with their primary caregiver in childhood is transferred to the attachments they make in their adult relationships.
