Systemic Psychotherapy
A System-Centered Approach
What is Systemic Therapy?
This psychotherapeutic approach focuses on how an individual's personal relationships, behaviour patterns, and life choices are interconnected to the problems they face in their life. If one part of a person's system is failing, as a trained systemic psychological practitioner, I believe the whole system is affected.
Systemic Therapy
Who is this for ?
Systemic Therapy can help any group or system where people work together or have a relationship.
It is aimed at families who are having complex relational difficulties.
It is aimed groups of people whose systems have become unhealthy or dysfunctional.
Systemic therapy is not about blaming specific individuals within a group, instead it considers that the problem comes from the group's system of functioning.
How does it work?
This approach can help you see your problems in a new and different way and it can even make it easier to understand different perspectives of a problem. From this approach, I can help you examine how the parts of a system influence each other to maintain the stability and balance of the whole.
I can also help you recognize your strengths and resources so you can see how to best use them. As a systemic therapist, I support each individual as they learn to recognize their own patterns and also help them see how they can change within a system.
If you attend therapy as a family, you can identify beneficial ways to cope with difficult situations as a unit. You can learn to work together and find the ways that work for you and those around you. The goal is to help everyone understand each other and to develop new ways of communicating. This can help create an environment where everyone supports each other, promoting both health and well-being. With this type of family therapy you can learn to change together.

Do All Group Members have to Attend Therapy?
It is best for all group members to participate in therapy, including those who are reluctant. By providing a safe and secure space, the group can explore the key issues affecting them and gradually improve communication, build stronger relationships and gradually move forward in resolving their issues.
However, if it is not possible to involve a particular family member, I would work with everyone who attends the session because, as a systemic psychopractitioner, I believe that change in one part of the system affects all the other parts of this system. That is, if one individual changes position, it will cause changes in all other members of the family.

Where does it originate from ?
According to many, the family system lies at the heart of Italian culture, it is perhaps not surprising that systemic therapy first emerged in Italy. Subsequently, it was taken up by researchers in communication sciences, including one of its founding figures, the Englishman, Gregory Bateson. It was Bateson who clarified the concept of systemic theory with these few simple but profound words:
"We create the world we perceive, not because there is no reality outside our heads, but because we select and modify the reality we see, to make it conform to our beliefs in the type of world we live in."
