Family Counselling Services began in Trinidad and Tobago in 2004. It was established to fill the void of counselling and rehabilitative services along with intrapersonal programs which are critical in meeting the holistic needs of individuals in today’s society. Therefore, Family Counselling Services has embarked upon various psychosocial and life skills sessions and training, thereby emerging as a catalyst engendering holistic changes in the lives of individuals who have connected with us through various organisations. These services, along with short courses and life skills, will provide a suite of services inclusive of theoretical perspectives, situational analysis, and preparation of examination and relevant training for participants.

Our programs create the highest level of efficiency within any Organization or Community. Additionally, we have worked and are presently working with the following:-

  • The Office of the Prime Minister
  • Primary Schools
  • Correctional Facilities and
  • Various NGO’s;

Whereby, transformation is already taking place in the lives of individuals. Hence the reasons, our band tray of therapeutic services and programs are tools to use for changing mind-sets for a positive outcome, which is geared towards empowering individuals to achieve their greatest potentials in life.
