• What is systemic family psychotherapy?

    Systemic family psychotherapy focuses on relationships — how family members interact and how these interactions influence individual well-being. Rather than looking at problems in isolation, systemic therapy explores patterns, communication, and connections within the family system, aiming to create understanding, strengthen relationships, and support lasting change.

  • How many sessions do I need?

    The number of sessions varies depending on your specific needs and goals. Some families or individuals find a few sessions helpful, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will regularly review progress together to ensure the therapy is meeting your needs and adjust the number of sessions accordingly.

  • Who is systemic family therapy for?

    Systemic family therapy is for anyone seeking to improve relationships within a family, couple, or close network. It’s suitable for families and couples at any stage of their relationship, or individuals who want to explore how their relationships impact their emotional well-being.

  • How is systemic family therapy different from other types of psychotherapy?

    Unlike therapies that focus solely on an individual’s internal world, systemic therapy pays close attention to the wider relational context. It explores how patterns between people affect thoughts, emotions, and behavior, rather than placing emphasis only on individual diagnosis or pathology. It’s collaborative, flexible, and particularly focused on strengths and solutions.

  • Do I need to attend therapy with all members of my family?

    Not necessarily. Therapy can involve all family members, a few, or even just one person, depending on the situation and what feels most helpful. We can discuss what would work best for you during our initial conversations.

  • Do you take online sessions?

    Yes, I offer online sessions via a secure and confidential video platform.
    Online therapy can make support more accessible and flexible, especially for families or individuals with busy schedules or who live in different locations. It also gives me the opportunity to meet family members who may not be able to attend in person — and sometimes even special members of the family, like pets, who play an important role in family life.

  • How long do sessions last?

    Individual therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes, while couples and family sessions usually run for 60 minutes. If a longer session would better support your needs, this can be arranged with advance notice.

  • How will I know therapy is working?

    Throughout therapy, we will regularly check in on your goals and progress to make sure the work we're doing is meaningful and effective for you. Signs that therapy is working can include feeling more connected, better understanding each other, improved communication, reduced conflict, and greater emotional resilience. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and your feedback is always welcome to ensure we are moving in a direction that feels meaningful to you.
