Our Practice

There is a considerable overlap between Counselling and Psychotherapy. Counselling sets out to deal with specific problems, whereas longer-term psychotherapy addresses more deeply rooted patterns.

The number of sessions depends on the issues you wish to address. A limited number of sessions can be helpful in some cases, whereas in others, a longer period of time might be needed. This is discussed with your counsellor at the outset. The length of therapy and the cost is discussed with your counsellor and if necessary reviewed during therapy.

The initial session is an opportunity to discuss your particular difficulties and consider whether counselling would be helpful. You may want to go away think more about this experience before deciding on a course of therapy.

Having decided to begin therapy, sessions are usually arranged weekly and on the same day and at the same time. If you need more flexibility then this is can be discussed. Sessions usually last 50 minutes.
