Welcome to AFT

AFT is the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice in the UK.

AFT is the leading body representing those working with families in the public and independent sector in the UK. The broad group of therapies under the banner of “systemic family therapy” work not only with families, but with individual children and adults, couples, and the wider communities of clients. They work in ways that not only support change with individuals but also in their relationships in the family and beyond, so children, young people and/or those important to them are supported in continued recovery.

AFT's key aim is to benefit the public by working to continually improve standards of professional family therapy and systemic practice.

There are over 1,800 members of AFT. The membership of AFT is multi-disciplinary; and open to anyone with an interest in family therapy and systemic practice. Overseas members are welcome.
