Systemic family psychotherapy

Systemic family therapy

It is a therapeutic method designed to change the design of poorly functioning individual and family systems in stressful situations. “The core work of systems therapists is concerned with patterns of relationships in human systems and understanding their problems.”

(Gimson & Trewhella, 2014)

​

What happens during the session?

Therapy does not focus on the cause, treating symptoms, or diagnosing the person. The main strategy of systemic therapy in my practice is to manage dysfunctional patterns by stimulating the client's internal resources, searching for problems and opportunities for change, taking into account the client's external realities.

 

The systems approach, based on individual strengths, is that: “...people are the experts in their own lives, and the role of the therapist is to expand and show possibilities, and to encourage people to make their own decisions and informed choices.” "

​

According to my professional and life experience, this direction involves a systematic understanding of the client and certain ways to overcome psychological stress. The peculiarity of the systemic approach is to take into account the therapeutic understanding of your life experience, which affects your individual psychology and family relationships. The goal of my psychotherapy is not to break your individual characteristics that belong to you.

 

The systemic approach offers a multifactorial understanding of your psychological problems and finding an individual solution through building an alliance - client-therapist.

How many sessions will be needed?

Systemic therapy usually includes from 10 to 30 sessions, which are necessary for clients to realize their strengths and find ways to solve pressing problems. However, for clients experiencing more complex difficulties, long-term therapy may be required.

 

How long does the session last?
Sessions can last from 50 to 90 minutes, and each session can be spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, depending on various factors such as the problems being addressed and individual needs. Ultimately, the outcome of psychotherapy, including the therapy setting, will be the result of cooperation and mutual agreement between me as the therapist and you.
