personalTHERAPY

A decision to begin therapy may suggest a desire for change or a determination to face problematic personal issues. Once this decision has been made, finding the right therapist is the first step.

Your first appointment with us will provide an informal opportunity to discuss your hopes from counselling and will provide space to explore any conerns you may have about the counselling or psychotherapy process. Together, you and your therapist will consider the best way of going forward and if appropriate, further appointments may be agreed.

An important principle of our work is the positive, supportive relationship that develops between our clients and our therapists. Therefore, we follow a code of unconditional non-judgemental regard for our clients. We do not judge behaviour, personal choices or past experiences.  And we operate a strict policy of non-discrimination on grounds of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, illness or ethnicity.

Over the years, we have helped people through many forms of emotional and psychological unease including depression, stress and anger management, relationship issues, sex and sexuality issues, bereavement, addiction, sexual abuse, anxiety attacks and issues around self-worth and self-esteem. We are also experienced in work and career related issues and assertiveness training.

The duration of personal therapy differs between individuals. Some benefit from just a few sessions while others continue longer. Clients may end therapy at any time, simply by letting us know.

It's important to remember that discussions in counselling are confidential and your personal records are protected by the Data Protection Act.  We will not give your details to any third party.
