When pressure hits a family, it doesn’t stay in one place. It spreads.

Conflict. Crisis. Addiction.
Business pressure. Caregiving. Financial strain.
People changing at different speeds.

It’s rarely just one issue, its the pressure across the system — and no one knows how to respond without making it worse.

Pettina works with the full picture.
What’s happening, what’s driving it, and how to stabilise — fast.

What PS Fixes

  • Conflict & communication breakdown
    Same arguments. Same avoidance. No resolution.

  • Crisis, loss & instability
    Grief, separation, financial stress, sudden change.

  • Addiction & behavioural issues
    Impact on the individual — and the whole family system.

  • Family business & shared decisions
    Blurred roles, pressure, and decisions affecting both work and home.

  • Caregiving & dependency pressure
    Ageing parents, children, uneven responsibility.

  • Change pulling people in different directions
    Growth, success, or shifting priorities creating distance.

How it works

Family is complicated. Life makes it harder.

Unspoken expectations.
Built-up resentment.
Communication that broke down and never recovered.

Relationships, family businesses, caregiving, addiction, crisis — these pressures don't sit separately. They build on each other.

PS works with the full picture. What's happening, what's driving it, and what needs to change.

Structured and direct. Practical changes that hold outside the room. Everyone heard. No one reduced to the problem.

If it’s not resolving, it’s reinforcing.

Start with clarity. Then decide what to do next.
