Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a more in-depth therapy and requires a longer term commitment. It’s aim is to change present coping behaviours and work through past issues which influence the way you interact with others.

The theoretical approach I use is Transactional Analysis. This approach works on three core believes, which are:-

• people are okay
• everyone has the capacity to think
• people decide their own destiny and these decisions can be changed.

Transactional Analysis believes that our personality is made up of different states which incorporate our thoughts, feelings and behaviour

At present I only offer Psychotherapy in a face-to-face setting and charge £40 a session. I am in advanced training as a psychotherapist and have regular supervision to ensure that my work is effective.

The following ground rules apply to any work I do with clients:

• Sessions will last for 50 minutes.
• All material remains confidential, except in exceptional circumstances, these will be discussed with you.
• When you begin your sessions a regular commitment to that time and day once a week is expected.
• You will be informed of any breaks I will take. If sessions are missed at other times you will be required to pay for these.
• Payment is agreed at your first session. Any increase in fees you will be given one month’s notice of.
• If you decide to terminate your sessions early, please discuss this with me so that we can plan an ending together.
