What is this “Systemic” Therapy about?
Systemic Counselling and Psychotherapy is a
world-wide, developed and practised,
academically grounded approach within the
fields of therapy and social care.
Because of its coherent focus on the
relations in our lives it is often referred to
as “Family Therapy” but can be likewise
useful for individuals and groups other than
families, e.g. workplace teams.
The UK-based Association for Family
Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT)
describes that…
“Family Therapy helps people in close
relationship help each other. It enables
family members, couples and others who
care about each other to express and
explore difficult thoughts and emotions
safely, to understand each other’s
experiences and views, appreciate each
other’s needs, build on strengths and make
useful changes in their relationships and
their lives. Individuals can find Family
Therapy helpful, as an opportunity to reflect
on important relationships and find ways
forward.”*

Which people/problems do you “treat”?
We don’t “treat” people as we don’t have a
magic pill, spell or crystal ball. Instead we
talk and explore with you about how you want
your life and relationships to be. You come
as a client, not as a patient.
We could give you a long list of problems and
symptoms that can be “treated” with the
approach of Systemic Counselling and
Psychotherapy. However, no list of problems
could ever claim to contain your problem in
the way that you experience it. You - and
your problem and solutions - are too unique
to go on a list.
Other things we wish to highlight:
You decide where-to our talk goes and we
ask you and pay attention to how talk
needs to be in order to be useful to you.
You only share what you want to share
and you can trust confidentiality and
anonymity – we do not share your details
with anyone unless requested by you.
You decide how often and long you wish
to engage with the service at
sWANSEAsft fAMILYsft tHERAPYsft.

So „Systemic” Therapy is aimed at whom?
People who wish to build on their own and
their networks’ energy, creativity and
resources.
People who are happy that “our talking
together” is solely oriented towards
their concerns and goals.
People who like to be and stay in charge
of their lives rather than rely on others
who cannot know what’s best for them.
People who seek clarity in regards to the
decisions they face and the ways they
decide.
People who want to re-gain increased
consciousness, vitality and confidence.
People who wish to gain greater certainty
and sphere of influence in their various
roles of life, e.g. as Parents, Partners,
Co-Workers.
People like you and us and our neighbours.
I am/We are interested, now what?

Venue(s)
We operate from various venues
depending on availability as well as the
needs in regards to room size and
accessibility.
sWANSEAsft
What you get…
...is a space to reflect on any problem or
development in your life which is
unsolved, challenging and unsatisfying
and where you want things to change.
We offer what is called a “talking
therapy” but also may utilise creative
elements to depict the issues you bring
and to model solutions together.
At sWANSEAsft fAMILYsft tHERAPYsft
we work with one or two therapists in the
room. The later is subject to availability
and based on our belief that – at times -
it can be useful to consult with two sets
of eyes, ears and experience and to
offer various perspectives to explore.
We look forward to seeing you and all
who engage in your problem and its
solutions. (Flyer version 03/2015)
