A Systemic Psychotherapist works with individuals, couples, and families in the context of their relationships. The therapist helps to identify patterns of communication, explore new ways of communicating and creates space to explore worries and emotions. Sessions are client-led, and the aim is to engage in meaningful conversations that offer the individual, couple, or family different ways to view the difficulties they are experiencing and create new meaning for their relationships.
