Family Therapy
What is family & systemic therapy?
Family and systemic therapy can help people in close relationships to understand
and support each other more effectively. It supports family members to express and
explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, listen to each other’s experiences and

make useful changes in their relationships and their lives.
Family therapy is particularly effective for child and adult focused problems including:

Attachment

Eating disorders
