What is Family and Systemic Psychotherapy?
Family therapy, also known as systemic psychotherapy, is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships and addressing challenges within families. It provides a safe and supportive environment for family members to express their thoughts and emotions, gain a deeper understanding of each other's perspectives, and work together to create positive change. Through family therapy, individuals can learn to appreciate each other's needs, build upon family strengths, and develop effective strategies for navigating difficult situations.
Family and Systemic Psychotherapy can work with people in any form of relationships including couples, families, groups, carers, professional groups and teams.
It is useful for children, young people, adults and older adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties and interpersonal issues and circumstances, across the family life cycle. It focuses on improving relationships and addressing challenges within families. It's a collaborative process that involves all family members working together with a systemic and family psychotherapist to understand and resolve issues.
What to expect in your first session?
I will usually ask to meet with you or family for an initial session prior to planning on going family therapy sessions. This is to make sure that this is right for you and so that we can explore together what you would find useful. Sometimes this may require more than one session.
