What is systemic family therapy (psychotherapy)?
Family Therapy helps people in close relationship help each other. It enables family members, couples and others who care about each other to express and explore thoughts and emotions safely, to understand each other’s experiences and views, appreciate each other’s needs, build on strengths and make useful changes in their relationships and their lives. Individuals also can find Family Therapy helpful, as an opportunity to reflect and strengthen important relationships.
Family and systemic psychotherapists also work with the ‘systems’ or teams of people based in the caring professions and in a variety of settings such as in social services, schools, hospitals, hospices, substance misuse services, older adults services, youth offending projects, community outreach projects, and also in a wide range of organisational consultancies.

What are the benefits?
Systemic family therapy has been found to be effective for children’s and adults’ difficulties, both when individuals have acquired a mental health diagnosis and when there is more general or complex distress. It is effective across the lifecycle, spanning developmental stages from under-fives to old age. Working therapeutically with individuals together with their families and/ or significant others enables the use of individuals’ relationships as a resource, and reduces stress and difficulties for all family members. Family therapy has also been found to be particularly effective during severe and complex disorders requiring extensive treatment. Systemic family therapy can sometimes include relational work with individuals, psycho-educational approaches and multiple family groups.
