Family Systemic Psychotherapy

 Often called Family Therapy – helps people in close relationship to help each other. It enables family members to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, to understand each others experiences and views, appreciate each other’s needs, build on family strengths and make useful changes in their relationships and their lives.

Sometimes it doesn’t take much to help a family free up their strengths; sometimes difficulties are more complex and families may need longer to find solutions that work for them.

Family and Systemic Psychotherapists are highly skilled professionals, trained to work with children, young people, adults, carers and other professionals.  Their aim is not to take sides, blame or provide simple answers. Rather, they aim to engage family members in sharing understandings and exploring ways forward that work for them.

Family Therapists acknowledge the importance of peoples’ different beliefs, cultures, contexts and life experiences, and will respond sensitively in their work to family members’ ages, needs, resources and preferences.

Research confirms its efficacy.
