What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy
After an initial consultation in Stockport, there is no obligation to continue if you prefer not to. As Client and Therapist, we will make use of the supportive environment to explore the particular concerns for which you are considering Counselling or Psychotherapy. I will address any questions you may have. You can see how you feel working with me. You and I will then be able to determine if my Counselling and Psychotherapy practice is right for you.As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Accredited (MBACP Accred) Counsellor and Psychotherapist and UK Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (UKRCP) Registered Independent (UKRCP Reg Ind) Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I am trained and experienced in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Integrative Cognitive Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Schema Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) to work with people to improve their wellbeing.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT Therapy is designed primarily to support people experiencing Personality Disorders. It aims to support each person as a unique and valuable being while also identifying the need for change in that person. It focuses on developing and practising more healthy behaviours replacing more impulsive or damaging behaviours. Generally 6 to 18 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy focuses on how individuals experience the world. It encourages people to see themselves, their emotions and behaviour in a context where life is transient and finite and how this gives meaning to their lives. Generally 6 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
Integrative Cognitive Therapy
Integrative Cognitive Therapy helps to look at thoughts and behaviours, and how by challenging both, an improvement in emotional wellbeing can emerge. Integrative Cognitive Therapy is useful in helping with issues such as Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) etc. Generally 6 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
Person Centred Therapy
The aim of Person Centred Therapy is to work at your pace and to focus very much on those issues you chose to bring to counselling. Sessions are reflective in nature. I aim to provide a safe, nurturing and non judgemental environment in which you can explore your feelings. Generally 6 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy encourages a client to engage with and explore deep seated issues that are causing distress in their day to day lives, and how they can potentially resolve some of these issues. Helpful in Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, Self Harm and other Mental Health Problems. Generally 6 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy engages the client to explore how they experienced their childhood (including being parented) and identify how this affects their life today through long held beliefs or schemas. Once understood, the client and I develop strategies to enable the client to make active changes in the here and now. Generally 6 to 18 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) invites the client to focus very specifically on those things they want to change. Useful for situations such as Workplace Stress, Social Anxiety, Panic etc. Generally 1 to 6 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
