I am able to offer short and long term therapy tailored to the needs of the individual. A safe, friendly and confidential space is offered to discuss problems and difficulties and work toward productive aims and outcomes.
Charges are from £50 for one full hour of therapy. Treatment is based on the understanding of each client’s problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a collaborative therapy which means that I work with the client to identify goals and we agree a shared treatment plan.
The duration of counselling can be short or long term dependant upon the problem and the needs of the client. Some clients are in therapy for just a brief time, anything between 3 – 8 sessions. Other clients who have had long standing problems may choose to stay in therapy longer to explore their problems in depth. The scheduling of sessions is discussed and planned to the needs and requirements of the client. Sessions are usually spaced with a minimum of 1 week gap. This allows time between sessions to put the skills learned into practice. Follow up sessions at 3, 6 or 12 months to review progress, can be undertaken.
Therapy work is confidential but any limit to the boundaries of confidentiality, such as harm to oneself or others, is fully discussed with the client.
