Family Systems Therapies (Systemic)

Understanding how your story lives within and around you.

At the heart of my work as a Family Therapist is a systemic perspective — the understanding that you are not just an isolated individual with “symptoms,” but part of a larger emotional and relational system. We are shaped not only by our personal experiences but also by the families, cultures, and relationships we grow up in and move through.

What role were you cast in within your family growing up?
What was modelled to you about staying connected or expressing emotions?
What did love, loyalty, or belonging mean to you in your early life?

The answers to these questions can deeply influence how we think, feel, and connect — with ourselves and with others. Sometimes the anxiety, guilt, or sense of stuckness we feel isn’t just about what’s happening today; it can reflect longstanding patterns and roles carried forward through generations.

This isn’t about blaming. It’s about understanding: seeing how your family and ancestors did the best they could with what was available to them, and how those patterns might still be echoing today.

A systemic approach invites us to look at the bigger picture — not just what is happening inside you, but also the dynamics around you. Together, we explore the unspoken stories, inherited expectations, and emotional ties that shape your current experience. Through this compassionate understanding, new possibilities for connection and change can emerge.
