Modern therapeutic approaches are active and collaborative in nature. The therapist works in collaboration with you to reduce the frequency and severity of any problems. When using CBT the focus of the work is on what is keeping the difficulties and problems going at this time, not looking for possible causes and/or earlier childhood experiences. This is not to say earlier life experiences are not important to understanding current difficulties, but it is unlikely they are keeping any difficulties going now. Therapy is often portrayed poorly in the media and we do not ask people to lie on a couch. A Clinical Psychologist works actively with you exploring how you are coping and finding out what is helpful to you. We cannot ‘mind read’ and can only help with difficulties people are happy to talk about.
Therapy is provided in a designated room within a large private house. Parking is available on the drive or on the road outside the property. There is no reception or waiting room, and individual therapy sessions are deliberately spaced so you will not bump into someone leaving the previous session. Please do not arrive more a few minutes early as confidentiality and discretion are important to all the people we see. Therapy runs strictly to time and you will be seen at the time arranged unless you have been informed otherwise.
