What is Family and Systemic Psychotherapy?

​

Family therapy, also known as systemic psychotherapy, is a powerful approach that focuses on understanding and improving the dynamics within a family system. It recognises that each member of the family influences and is influenced by the others, and that challenges within one member can impact the entire family.

​

How can Family Therapy help?

​

Family therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, including:

​​​

• Family relationship difficulties

• Child and adolescent mental health issues

• Adult mental health issues

• Child, adolescent and adult behaviour difficulties

• Parenting issues

• Illness and disability in the family

• Separation, divorce and step-family life

• Fostering, adoption, kinship care and the needs of ‘looked after’ children

• Domestic violence and abuse

• Self-harm

• Drug and alcohol misuse

• The effects of trauma

• Physical illness, death, dying and bereavement

• Difficulties related to ageing and other life cycle changes

​​

How is it different from Therapeutic Coaching and How does it work?

​

The sessions may involve individual or/and family members. It doesn't involve any coaching. 

​

Therapy sessions typically are 60 minutes. During these sessions, Pei-I creates a safe and supportive space for open communication through a variety of techniques.

​

In some cases, Pei-I may work with colleagues who sit in or join on zoom to observe sessions. This allows for additional perspectives and insights to be shared with the family. The idea is to open up possibilities and creativity for solutions. 

​

Pei-I offers both in-person family therapy sessions in my Edinburgh office and online sessions. This allows you to choose the option that best suits your family's needs and schedule
