I usually schedule a face-to-face or an online session to meet with clients once a week or every 2 weeks, depending on their individual needs and circumstances. A course of treatment typically lasts between 6 and 20 sessions, with each session lasting 50 minutes.
During our sessions, we’ll work together to break down your problems into separate parts, such as your thoughts, physical sensations, and behaviours. We’ll analyse these areas to identify patterns that may be unhelpful or unrealistic and explore how they interact with each other and impact you. I’ll then guide you in finding ways to change these unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Once we identify areas for change, I’ll encourage you to practise these new approaches in your daily life, and we’ll review your progress in our next session.
The goal of therapy is to equip you with skills you can use in your everyday life, empowering you to manage challenges and prevent them from negatively affecting you, even after our sessions have ended.
