About Me

Systemic Psychotherapy focuses on your relational interactions and experiences to address challenges. Through collaborative conversations, we create new understandings and perspectives, turning dialogue into interventions that promote change. Growing up as a third culture kid has enhanced my open-mindedness, flexibility, and tolerance of others’ worldviews and cultures. As a Systemic Psychotherapist, I support individuals, couples and families from diverse cultural contexts who face a variety of emotional, social and relational challenges. The service I provide is open to all irrespective of age, walk of life, culture, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality or educational background. Given my attentiveness to various aspects of difference, please do highlight if you wish to address age, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, marital status, or any other relationship description.

During a free consultation, we would explore your hopes for therapy and discuss what led you to seek support at this particular time. I will email you an information and therapy agreement form along with my privacy notice in advance of any therapy proceeding, so that you know what to expect from me as a Psychotherapist. Each session lasts 50 mins and can take place face-to-face (in Peterborough) or remotely (online link would be sent). I don't have specific expectations about session frequency or pacing. You may decide to see me weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on your needs and availability. My support can be short or long term, depending on your need and presenting circumstances. I do not work to a fixed number of sessions to allow for flexibility and uniqueness as the therapeutic relationship develops.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at shakira@systemic-psychotherapy.co.uk
