SYSTEMIC FAMILY THERAPY

What is Systemic Family Therapy?

When family members are faced with difficulties communicating with each other, it can affect happiness and wellbeing. Sometimes the communication difficulties can be caused by a health problem affecting a family member. Adjusting to the changes can prove difficult and sometimes, without realising, a member can be easily either scapegoated or relieved from any responsibilities, which tends to affect the family equilibrium.

Systemic Family therapy is a therapy approach aimed at working on the family unit as a whole and not just the individuals. Systemic therapy views problems of the individual in the context of which they live in along with the larger socio-economic context. We are now delighted to offer this innovative service to a unique standard in the Middle East.

I am an experienced Family Therapist, and I gained my qualification at the prestigious Surrey University in the UK. I am culturally sensitive and adjust my style of practice to suit the needs of each family regardless of their ethnic or socio-cultural background. The families I have worked with, from all over the world, always feedback that they feel supported and understood.
