My Approach
Systemic Therapy Counselling aims to help people feel more positive about themselves and their situations. It is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping people understand and address their challenges by examining the patterns of their relationships within a system or context, like their family, intimate relationships or friends rather than solely focusing on individual thoughts and feelings. Challenges can also exist with things, not people. For example with; your finances, a church / religious organisation, aspects of culture, social media or with a particular event in your life.
Sessions are usually 60 minutes long and are tailored to your individual needs and realistic goals for you. The frequency is up to you and can be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. The number of sessions can be as few as one only or take place over the course of a year. They stop when you feel more confident to manage your situation better. Sessions are non-judgemental and strictly confidential. We will seek to create movement by nudging forward in small steps and hopefully leave you with effective creative tools to reactivate potential in your life.
What are the risks?
As with any talking therapy, focusing on your problems may make you feel worse before you feel better. Talking therapy can also be challenging as you may decide to make changes in your relationships that are better for you but some people (friends and family) may not, initially, like these changes.
