Other Issues

Talking therapies could help with a wide variety of emotional and psychological issues or situations where you want to change the way you think or feel.

Common Questions

The most appropriate type of therapy for you depends on your situation and the problem or issue you would like to address.

Most therapy sessions will involve a blend of different psychological therapies depending on your situation. We will discuss your situation at your first session and decide on the best approach for you.

Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes in order to maximise concentration and get the best from the process. Your first session is usually a little longer (approximately 60 to 90 minutes) to allow sufficient time to discuss your situation and answer any questions you may have.

Therapy sessions provide a time and space for you to explore your situation. During your first session, we will discuss a number of areas connected with your problem or issue including everyday events, problems, feelings, thoughts, memories, past experiences and the future. At each session, we will discuss your progress since we last met and a combination of therapy techniques will be used during your session, to help you get to where you want to be.

You may also be given exercises or tasks to complete between your sessions to build on the work done during your session and to help you develop new skills and responses to enable you to overcome the problem or issue.

Hypnotherapy sessions are typically 2 to 3 weeks apart as this allows sufficient time for your subconscious mind to process new ideas and for you to start making changes. Counselling or talking therapy sessions are often weekly, especially in the early stages.

We will discuss the frequency and number of sessions during your first session.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach in therapy, so it’s difficult to say exactly how many sessions you may need because everyone is different and some people experience changes more quickly than others.

The number of sessions required also depends on the problem or issue, along with your level of motivation and participation in your therapy sessions.

Generally speaking, most people find between 4 to 6 sessions helpful and occasionally further sessions may be required.

If you are committed to making changes, you have a good chance of succeeding. However, there are a variety of factors that can affect the outcome of therapy and for this reason, it is unethical to offer any guarantee of success.

Talking therapies have a good track record in helping people to make lasting changes, however everyone responds differently and therefore results may vary from person to person. Your motivation and participation are the key to success, so you need to play your part too.

The problems or issues that people often seek help with, have usually occurred as a result of past experiences and unhelpful thought processes. In order to overcome a problem or respond differently, the desired change comes from within; therefore, we need to change our thoughts and behaviours.

During your therapy sessions, you may be shown how to use self help tools and techniques to enable you to make the changes that you desire. How you use these tools and the level of effort applied, will affect how quickly you experience positive changes. Remember, your motivation and participation are the key to your success.

Important Information

Some issues, especially pain or other physical or mental health related issues, can sometimes indicate an underlying medical problem. If you have any doubts or concerns about your health, you must see your doctor. I may also ask you to consult your doctor before starting any therapy sessions.
