The approach
Systemic Psychotherapy
Systemic psychotherapy sees each person within the web of relationships, experiences and circumstances they live in. Rather than treating a difficulty as something located only "inside" the individual, it looks at how that difficulty is connected to the relationships, circumstances and meanings that have formed around it.
Relationships and context
How we relate to others, and how others relate to us, is always shaped by the setting we live in. Family, our relationship with a partner, work, significant experiences and social circumstances are all part of each person's story, and they help us understand what that person is going through.
Patterns
In therapy we explore the recurring ways in which we relate, communicate, react and make sense of what happens to us. Recognising these patterns helps us see what keeps them going and what could be done differently.
New possibilities
Therapy is not only about understanding the problem, but also about finding new ways of seeing ourselves, others and our relationships. Together, in therapy, we look for different perspectives, new connections and possibilities that may not have been visible before.
