We offer a wide range of therapies within a flexible framework that allows choice and careful consideration of individual needs. For this reason we always offer an initial consultation. To enable us to provide the best for each person, we also include the specialist expertise of our associates.
What we offer
Group Psychotherapy once or twice a week mixed sex groups for adults. This approach provides a safe space where issues that concern you, can be thought about in depth in a climate of support and understanding. These groups are places which provide a setting where you can be yourself and relate to others as yourself. We also offer a specialist psychotherapy group for Doctors.
Individual Psychotherapy and Counselling can be either once a week Counselling or Brief Individual Therapy or longer term Psychoanalytic therapy or Jungian Analysis from weekly up to four times a week
Couple Therapy we offer a reflective space to understand the dynamics influencing your relationship.
Family Therapy where families might need time and attention to find constructive ways to work through issues and difficulties.
Supervision we provide supervision to individual psychotherapists and counsellors, and for people who might value the group supervision experience.
How can Psychotherapy and Counselling help?
Psychotherapy and Counselling provides a safe space in which personal concerns, conflicts and problems can be explored with a therapist or counsellor in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality - a setting in which new solutions to old problems may be found.
This can occur in an individual or group setting. The process involves talking about whatever is on your mind and you are encouraged to reflect on feelings, thoughts, fears, memories and dreams. The therapist and/or group, can help you to understand your unconscious which affects your conscious thinking and behaviour.
Psychotherapy and counselling may be helpful to those who:
- Have problems in their relationships with others.
- Feel isolated and find it difficult to make and maintain relationships.
- Suffer from anxiety, depression and other emotional and sexual difficulties.
- Suffer from work related stress.
- Need help in coming to terms with painful and traumatic events in their lives such as loss.
- Lack self confidence and self esteem.
- Feel overwhelmed with life and unable to cope.
- Have difficulty with dealing with feelings of guilt, shame, frustration or anger.
- Experience a loss of meaning in their lives.
- Confusion about their identity.
- May be interested in personal development and in developing their own creativity.
