Systemic Therapy
Systemic Therapy is a collaborative, relational approach that focuses on the patterns, dynamics, and interactions within families, couples, and other important systems. Rather than viewing difficulties as something that resides within one individual, systemic therapy explores how relationships, communication styles, and shared histories influence wellbeing.
This approach recognises that people do not exist in isolation: our experiences, beliefs, and behaviours are shaped by the systems we are part of. Systemic therapy aims to improve understanding, strengthen communication, and create meaningful change within these relationships.
At Sage Psychology, we offer Systemic Therapy in Wimbledon, Epsom, and online, supporting individuals, couples, and families to navigate challenges and enhance their relational wellbeing.
What Can Systemic Therapy Help With?
Systemic therapy is suitable for many emotional, relational, and behavioural challenges, including:
Family conflict or breakdown in communication
Parenting challenges or stress within the family unit
Life transitions, such as separation, illness, or bereavement
Identity, cultural, or generational differences
Difficulties related to blended or separated families
Child or adolescent behaviour concerns
Stress, anxiety, or emotional regulation difficulties within relationships.
How Systemic Therapy Works
Systemic therapy helps you explore how patterns within relationships have developed, and how they may be influencing current difficulties. With the guidance of your therapist, you’ll work towards:
Understanding different perspectives within the family or couple
Identifying unhelpful interaction cycles
Improving communication and emotional expression
Developing healthier, more supportive ways of relating
Strengthening resilience within the family or couple
Creating solutions that work for everyone involved.
Systemic therapists use a flexible, collaborative approach, adapting sessions to each family or couple’s unique circumstances and goals.
What to Expect From Systemic Therapy
Systemic therapy sessions may involve individuals, couples, or several family members, depending on what feels most supportive. During sessions, you can expect to explore current challenges and relationship patterns, look at communication styles and interaction cycles, and engage in therapeutic conversations that encourage insight and connection.
Your therapist will guide you through collaborative problem-solving and practical strategies while helping you reflect on progress and adjust the approach as needed. Throughout the process, we create a safe, neutral space where each person is heard and understood, with the focus firmly on growth rather than blame.
