What is
Systemic Therapy?

Systemic therapy is a form of counselling that focuses on relationships and patterns within groups, rather than on individuals alone. It explores how family, social and cultural systems influence behaviour, aiming to improve communication and resolve conflicts within those systems.

How Does It Work?

Systemic therapy works by examining interactions, roles and belief systems that shape dynamics within families or groups. The therapist encourages reflection on patterns and shared narratives, helping members develop new perspectives, reduce tension and find more supportive, balanced ways of relating.

Who is It For?

Systemic therapy is suitable for families, couples, or any groups experiencing relational challenges. It can also support individuals affected by family issues, cultural expectations or identity concerns. It is especially helpful when problems are influenced by complex social or relational systems.

What Happens in a Session?

In a session, the therapist may work with all or some members of the group. Conversations focus on how each person’s actions affect others, and vice versa. The therapist facilitates respectful dialogue, explores different viewpoints and helps the group create constructive changes together.
