THERAPY
What To Expect From Therapy...
We work with both individuals and couples, on a short term solution focused basis (6-12 sessions), or open ended. These sessions are offered either face to face or remotely online. The relationship offers a safe, non judgmental, confidential space, to tell your story. Whilst therapy has the scope for a great deal of exploration, it does not give advice or solve problems. It is a journey of self discovery and growth; an opportunity to understand yourself better and make positive changes. Every counselling relationship is unique...this is your space and your time, just for you...
What Is Therapy
Therapy recognises that each person is unique and has specific needs and circumstances. Through active listening, empathy and being non judgmental, a safe, confidential therapeutic relationship is formed. Thus helping clients to overcome negative patterns of behavior, caused by anxieties, fears, phobias or any other mental health issue, that is impacting life (ie. addictions, depression, past and present trauma, bereavement and low self-esteem).
Integrative Approach
Integrative counselling allows for a deeper, more emotionally charged therapeutic experience. Often referred to as the 'whole person' approach - addressing issues from a holistic perspective. Considering the clients physical, social, emotional and psychological wellbeing and seeking to understand the whole picture, rather than focusing on individual parts. An integrative therapist will draw on different theoretical models and techniques, tailored to each client's needs.
Is Therapy for Me?
The answer to that is...maybe! Embracing the process with an open mind and a commitment to tell your story, is always a good start! The aim of therapy is ultimately for clients mental, physical and emotional health to be maximised to its full potential. Empowering individuals to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. Feel free to reach out, either by telephone or email, or to book an initial appointment.
Short Term (6-12 Weeks)
Short term, solution focused work is usually over a six week period, though this can be extended for up to twelve weeks, if required. This way of working focuses on finding solutions, for one particular issue and making positive changes, as opposed to working open ended, on a deeper level, focusing on the past causes of problems.
Open Ended Therapy
Open-ended therapy is a commitment to self-improvement that extends as long as you need it. An opportunity to explore the past, present and your aims for the future.
Couple Therapy
Help is often needed with relationship issues; such as breakdown in communication, dissatisfaction, infidelity, arguing, parenting, external factors and all the other aspects that facilitate 'a relationship'. Maybe you have already separated and need some help navigating through, co-parenting as a couple or family. A space in which both partners are heard and support for one another is fostered, whether that be for a re-connection or amicable separation.
