Psychotherapy & Counselling
Individual therapy offers a safe, reliable and confidential setting. It provides a relationship in which you can explore difficulties and their links with early experience, which can be outside conscious awareness, discover more appropriate ways of coping and bring about desired changes in your thinking, feeling and behaviour.
Through the security offered by the developing relationship with your therapist, you can re-experience relationships from early life and explore and establish new ways of relating that are no longer compromised by the habits that previously caused distress.
Psychotherapy may be 'short-term' (once a week up to about six months) or longer. Occasionally, short term fixed-session therapy may be offered. As a general rule, longer term work is helpful where problems are more deep-seated and have their roots in patterns laid down in early life. It is usually once a week, or more frequently when it is agreed that this might be helpful.
The sessions offered will be regular and frequent enough to provide support and continuity and enable working at depth, so as to facilitate lasting change.
Psychotherapy/counselling can be used to help with many issues, including:
- Relationships, for example: difficulties forming or maintaining satisfactory relationships or becoming involved in destructive relationships at home or at work
- Work Problems - including managing stress, finding direction, improving communication with others, developing confidence
- Feelings of Depression or Emptiness
