What’s Right for Me?
Individual Therapy - what's right for me?
You may be coming with a really specific problem that you are wanting to resolve – for example OCD-type thoughts or struggling with anxiety, or, you may know that something isn’t right in your life – but you can’t put your finger on it.
In individual therapy, we have lots of choices over how we work together. I am able to offer you Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) – this is most useful for problem-based therapy where you are unhappy about something in your life and want to make a definite change. CBT is often used to treat anxiety problems such as OCD, Social Phobia, fears of illness and becoming unwell, feeling generally anxious and worried or depressive type symptoms.
Another way of working together is using Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. Transactional Analysis (TA) is a way of understanding your past and uncovering hidden decisions you have made about yourself, others and life in general. With growing awareness, it offers you new ways of being “with you” as well as “being with others”. We watch people becoming more aware of the choices they make and new options opening up in their life.
How I work with clients, and the number of sessions varies with each and every client, and this is something that we can discuss and develop together. Some clients only want to access a small number of sessions, others are engaged in long-term psychotherapy that may go on for several years. I am happy to explore with you just a few sessions, or a more long-term therapeutic relationship.
I am also a very experienced counsellor – so the counselling relationship is available in all the different ways that we might choose to work together.
