Family Systems Therapy at Harbor: healing together in luxury and privacy
Family dynamics can feel impossible to navigate when dysfunctional or out of balance. This can result in the development of mental health conditions for individual members, like anxiety or depression. And, if one part of the overall system is fragmented or suffering, then it will likely impact each member of the group.
Family Systems Therapy (FST) is a specialised form of psychotherapy that aims to bring the ‘system’ back into balance. At Harbor, we offer London-based Family Systems Therapy to help families navigate and resolve conflicts, leading to a more harmonious life.
Our approach
What to expect from Family Systems Therapy
Family Systems Therapy (FST) views each individual as interconnected parts of a larger family unit, emphasising that both the individual and the family system are both seen as a whole, and not in a rigid or permanent state. It focuses on the idea that individual challenges often stem from family dynamics and behaviour patterns.
The core concepts behind our approach involves:
- Differentiation: Enhancing individual identity, levels of validation that individuals need and independence – all within the family context.
- Triangle: Examining the relationships between three family members to understand behaviour patterns.
- Family projection: Identifying how parents may transfer their anxieties to their children.
- Multigenerational transmission: Understanding how family patterns are passed down through generations.
- Emotional distance: Addressing how distancing behaviours affect family tensions.
Through these core concepts, FST helps families understand and improve all interactions, fostering healthier relationships.
How it works
How Family Systems Therapy can help you
Family Systems Therapy is versatile and can address a wide range of issues, including:
- Mental health disorders: Supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges.
- Behavioural issues: Helping families manage challenging behaviours and improve parenting strategies.
- Trauma and PTSD: Facilitating healing from past traumas and improving emotional resilience.
- Eating disorders: Supporting recovery through improved family dynamics and communication.
- Disability and chronic illness: Helping families cope with the emotional impact of a diagnosis.
Harbor’s London-based Family Systems Therapy is beneficial for families experiencing unresolved conflicts, communication issues, or any situation where family dynamics contribute to stress and mental health challenges. You will be encouraged to understand your relationship with the different parts of your mind – and other people – to create the full picture of your life. By addressing these issues of disconnection, families can begin to restore a homeostatic dynamic, leading to more supportive and functional relationships with one another.
