INDIVIDUAL
THERAPY
Psychologists
are experts in
non drug
approaches to
mental health
and well being
and are trained
to use a wide
range of
assessment and
therapeutic
strategies. The
reason for
referral will
determine the
content of
sessions, which
may include
discussion,
testing and
behavioural
tasks, or other
relevant
activities.
Individuals will
sometimes be
asked to do
assignments
between visits,
and family may
also be involved
in sessions.
Typically
clients are seen
for between 4-12
sessions,
because of the
effectiveness of
short-term
treatment.
Occasionally a
single session
will be
sufficient to
provide
individuals with
appropriate and
useful
information.
Sometimes
long-term
treatment is
required, but
this would be
discussed in
consultation
with your
psychologist.
Psychologists
use professional
listening
skills,
therapeutic
dialogue and
expert insight
to explore
solutions with
clients. We
offer a range of
psychological
and counselling
services
including
cognitive
behavioural
therapy (CBT),
psychodynamic
psychotherapy,
schema focused
therapy,
acceptance and
commitment
therapy (ACT),
solution focused
therapy, and
interpersonal
therapy to name
a few.
