MANJIT SIDHU
FAMILY AND SYSTEMIC THERAPY
A specialist family, couple and individual therapy service.
Welcome to Family and Systemic Therapy. I am Manjit, a Family Therapist, and the founder of this practice. I'm here to guide you through a transformative journey toward understanding yourself and your relationships on a deeper level.
Navigating the complexities of our lives can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to complex family dynamics, pressures to meet societies expectations and increasing levels of disconnection in communities. As an experienced psychotherapist, I specialize in untangling these threads and helping you make sense of how they shape your worldview and your connections with others.
One of the key aspects of my approach is exploring the stories that have been passed down through generations within your family. These narratives hold valuable clues to understanding the patterns and belief systems that may be contributing to unhelpful behaviours or repeating cycles of dysfunction. Whether it's the lingering effects of trauma and grief or the weight of expectations and responsibilities placed upon you, we'll work together to uncover the roots of these patterns and pave the way for healing and growth.
In our sessions, I'll invite you to reflect on the roles you've assumed within your family and how they continue to influence your interactions with others, whether it's with parents, siblings, or romantic partners. Many of us carry the burden of childhood responsibilities into our adult lives, affecting how we express vulnerability and connect with others. By shedding light on these dynamics, we can begin to develop more fulfilling relationships.
For couples seeking support, I offer a safe space to explore the dynamics of your partnership and uncover the underlying narratives that may be driving you apart. Whether you're grappling with a recent crisis or finding yourselves stuck in repetitive patterns of conflict, my expertise in cross-cultural issues and power dynamics can help illuminate a new path toward intimacy and connection.
At Family and Systemic Therapy, we believe in the power of relationships to heal and transform. Welcome to a space where your story matters, and healing begins.
WHAT IS SYSTEMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY?
Systemic psychotherapy is like seeing life through a wide-angle lens. Instead of focusing solely on individual thoughts or behaviors, it zooms out to examine how relationships, interactions, and contexts shape our experiences and challenges. Picture it as a holistic approach to therapy that considers not just the person in front of you, but also their family, culture, and social environment.
In systemic psychotherapy, we explore patterns of communication, power dynamics, and belief systems within these broader systems. By doing so, we uncover how these elements influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. It’s a bit like untangling a complex web – understanding how one thread affects the entire fabric of our lives.
It can be applied to individuals, couples, families, or even larger social systems. So whether you’re dealing with personal struggles, relationship issues, or broader societal challenges, systemic psychotherapy provides a framework for understanding and navigating the complexities of human experience.
This form of therapy can be short or long term. Sessions occur fortnightly or less frequently, because we believe that shifts occur in-between sessions. More information can be found on the Association of Family Therapy (AFT) Website: https://www.aft.org.uk/consider/view/family-therapy.html

MY SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
£110-120
As individuals, we live within our social and cultural environment. This impacts personal and professional relationships with ourselves and others. These multiple realities are what can give us insights in to some of the recurring patterns in our lives.
I will help you to connect with significant experiences, beliefs, and values to explore how they are shaping you today. In doing this, we can focus on what you want to keep, and what you would like to let go.
COUPLES THERAPY
£130-140
Relationship problems are often best treated within those relationships. Thinking about problems in the context that they occur means that we do not have to spend time thinking about where these issues came from, but more on what is preventing you from resolving them. I will provide couples a space to think about what you each bring to your relationship, and how this is contributing to the patterns formed today.
FAMILY THERAPY
£130-140
Families are a melting pot of feelings, some more challenging than others. I am interested in hearing from all members of your family, to understand the different perspectives you each have about the problem. In doing this, I will support you to start to form a new and emerging story, and encourage you each to find your voice in different and creative ways.
SYSTEMIC SUPERVISION
£70
I offer systemic supervision to colleagues and trainee therapists, who wish to use systemic ideas in their practice. This can be both on an ongoing and ad hoc basis.
SYSTEMIC CONSULTATION
For Your Workplace
POA
I help teams, organisations, and businesses to think about their vision and goals, within a wider social context. This is a collaborative approach that aims to shift people from individual thinking to thinking more systemically.
A constant feedback loop will allow you to start to recognise significant moments in the consultation, so that change can continue beyond the consultation process.
Low cost appointments
I offer limited low cost appointments based on individual need. If this sounds helpful to you, please do get in touch to discuss.
