ABOUT PSYCHOTHERAPY

 

Common Questions:

 

Will therapy help?

What type of therapy is best?

How long will it take?

 

These are common questions people want answers to when considering therapy. Sometimes people carry concerns about being judged or worry about labels for their child. This is understandable and why I seek to answer your questions in a brief phone call or an initial 1 hour consultation. 

 

Common reasons for seeking therapy:

 

  • Anxiety

  • Neurodiversity (including ASC, ADHD)

  • Identity

  • Depression

  • Social or separation anxiety

  • Aggression

  • Self-harming behaviours

  • Sleeping problems

  • Chronic illness

  • Substance misuse

  • Bullying

  • Stealing and lying

  • Procrastination

  • Family conflict

  • Parenting styles

  • Bereavement

  • Separation & divorce

 

 

Types of Therapy:

There are many different types of therapy. Sometimes a therapist will use one type of 'modality' mostly they use more than one. 

​

I choose what is called an 'integrative' approach because this gives me greater flexibility to shape the therapy around the individual needs. More than one model helps me understand my clients struggles from a variety of viewpoints. 

 

The models which underpin my approach are attachment theory which examines how early attachment experiences can influence later relationships and psychodynamic which pays attention to unconscious processes. I also draw on neurobiology which considers how the mind-body connection is not a separate entity.

 

My training and understanding of child development also lies at the heart of how I can support children and young people. These approaches are all evidence based and work well together to build on individual strengths.

​

How to know what qualifications and registrations mean?

In the UK we have a number of regulatory bodies which are approved of by the Professional Standards Commitee. The one I am registered with is BACP.
