What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy

After an initial appointment in Highbury, London, there is no obligation to continue if you decide not to. You and I may take the opportunity to explore the particular concerns for which you are considering Counselling or Psychotherapy. I will discuss confidentiality with you and address any questions you may have. We can see how well we work together. You and I will then be able to decide if my Counselling and Psychotherapy practice is appropriate for you.

The aim of my Counselling and Psychotherapy practice is to develop your knowledge of causes of concerns so you discover what to change or accept. To get the most from Counselling and Psychotherapy you will need to be able to speak openly with me and reflect.

Attachment Based Therapy

Explores your early relationships with parents and caregivers, to understand patterns of relating to others, and the unresolved issues which contribute to fixed and unhelpful ways of being in close relationships. Generally 24 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Brief Therapy

Brief Therapy focuses on specific challenges and difficulties that require immediate attention. Generally 6 to 36 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Client Centred Therapy

Values the fundamental resources and tendencies in human beings to grow in a climate of genuinely non-judgemental acceptance and empathic understanding. The quality of the dialogue and the therapeutic relationship aim to be sensitively tuned to how you experience your circumstances in life. Generally 24 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Cognitive Therapy

Aims to clarify the underlying beliefs and assumptions you make about what is 'right' and 'wrong', 'good' and 'bad'. When these beliefs and assumptions are not reflected on, they can silently govern your day to day thoughts, feelings and actions. Cognitive Therapy aims to uncover and alter these. Generally 12 to 36 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Eclectic Therapy

Eclectic Therapy is a hybrid approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of philosophies and theories of therapy that aim to address your needs. Generally 12 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Educational Therapy

Educational Therapy aims to foster learning and growth through an education model of therapy, where you are encouraged to become curious and take an objective stance towards your experiences. Generally 12 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Existential Therapy

Regards human existence in the context of being 'thrown' into the world at birth, and meeting the challenge of making your unique pilgrimage towards death. The emphasis is on living authentically, but this involves truthful and courageous acceptance of your limits and tendencies with humility and courage. Generally 24 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Experiential Therapy

The emphasis is on feeling, sensing, and perceiving the day to day events of your life, rather than living in abstract terms. The focus is on 'being here, now', becoming aware of your physicality, and relationships to your body, other people, and nature. Reliable meaning emerges from such 'experiencing'. Generally 12 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Gestalt Therapy

Regards experiences as having a cycle of wholeness - a process from start to completion - which can get blocked and cause disturbance. By looking at the opposite poles of your experience, the aim is to find an organic whole, a Gestalt. Generally 24 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Holistic Therapy

Essentially a broad view of human life as a unity of mind, body, and spirit, living in the context of time and space, with others as connected to your self, and your self as part of the others. Generally 24 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Humanistic and Integrative Therapy

A broad spectrum of approaches valuing human beings as being unique and beyond the concepts of polar opposites - not right or wrong, but what makes life satisfying, meaningful. Emphasises the role of relationships which are explored from various therapeutic perspectives. Generally 24 to 200 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
