Many talk therapies help by looking at your past experiences, and how you personally think and feel. But systemic therapy can take a different approach to helping your feel better about yourself and your life.

Systemic psychotherapy believes we are interconnected to those around us. So problems we face are shared, and possibly from a dilemma within the system, or systems, we live in. This might be our families, communities, and social and work groups.
