Systemic psychotherapy is grounded in the understanding that we are shaped through relationships. Our identities, beliefs, coping strategies, and emotional responses develop within the contexts of family, partnership, community, culture and self. 

Rather than locating a problem within the individual, systemic therapy looks at the patterns between people — the cycles of interaction that can become stuck or painful over time. Often, these patterns make sense when understood in light of past experiences, attachment histories, and the pressures of everyday life. 

In therapy, we pay attention to these relational patterns with curiosity rather than judgement. Together, we explore how difficulties are maintained and what new possibilities might exist.   

Whether working with individuals, couples or families, systemic psychotherapy can facilitate more useful and compassionate ways of relating — both to others and to ourselves.
