Systemic Therapy

Systemic therapy is one of the three large schools of classical psychology (the two others being Freudian, Jungian analysis and Behavioural therapy).

Systemic therapy incorporates certain aspects of these two schools, such as the subconscious and dream analysis, or the practical exercises of the behaviourists, with its focus on the interaction and complexity of the system within which the individual functions (i.e. within the couple, the family, work, society .....) The individual is placed at the heart of this system, providing a framework within which issues and differences which arise can be considered from every angle.

This promotes awareness and understanding. When one element changes in a(n) (eco)system, the fresh outlook leads to the evolution of the whole system. The ultimate aim is to contribute to the well-being of any society as a person, part of a couple, family, employee. Finding one's place in the world through a conscious understanding of one's differences from and similarities to the rest of the human race.

What issues can this therapy be beneficial for ? Depression, stress, existential and relational questions, sexuality, anxiety, dependency (drugs, alcohol), communication.

Who can benefit? Adults, couples, teenagers and children from the age of 9.
