Systemic Family Therapy

Systemic family therapy is a talking therapy for families, couples and other close relationships, in which the therapist meets you together. It helps you understand the patterns you have got stuck in and find new ways of relating to each other. It looks at people within the wider network of relationships they live in. There is some evidence it may ease low mood in adults, and UK guidance backs family therapy mainly for young people: see “Systemic family therapy: what the research says”.
