Individual therapy may consist of telephone, online or in person sessions. The length, number and frequency of sessions will vary depending on the main presenting problem and the level of severity of difficulties.
The first stages of individual therapy usually involve an assessment and creating a shared understanding between client and therapist of the client’s difficulties and maintaining factors. The treatment plan is then discussed and agreed upon.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence based short-term, focused talking therapy. This approach is based on the understanding that our thoughts, feeling and behaviours are interconnected and influence each other. Sessions will collaboratively identify goals to provide a shared plan for therapy which may involve developing skills in building awareness and challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours in and outside of sessions.
Relational therapy is concerned with how our previous experiences are negatively affecting our ways of being and triggering symptoms experienced in the present, as well as how you connect to self and others. Our experiences can affect the assumptions we make about our present day and future relationships. What we learnt in the past affects the way we act around others and towards ourselves in the present.
