FAQHow does therapy work? I've never had therapy before.When we are in dialogue with another person this interaction offers the chance for something new to emerge, something that challenges our fixed way of seeing things if we are open enough to it. Although we can't change the external event that has happened in our lives, we can learn to become more resourceful in responding to it. Can you give me an idea of how many sessions I'll need? Yes, we can use the first couple of sessions as a way of mapping out the work to be done and having a rough idea of how long it will take Are the sessions confidential? Yes. The limitations to this are if you are in danger suicide, of harming another person, or child protection issues. All BACP therapists are required to have their work supervised by another senior therapist, but you are not identified in this. Other than this what we talk about remains between us. Can I expect to feel better quickly? Opening up areas of hurt and emotional pain can evoke painful feelings. You can be helped by discovering new ways of dealing with overwhelming emotion fairly quickly. We can also find ways of looking after you while you are doing therapy so that you are supported in other ways. Deeper therapy will only proceed once you have adequate ways of dealing with your distress. How do I know if you can help me with my issue? It's not listed. There are many other problems people have to grapple with - losing a job, fertility issues, bullying - why don't you drop me an email and explore? How easy is it to make an appointment? I am always at the other end of my iphone, so your texts, emails and phone enquiries will be answered promptly. The hardest bit is making the first move.  |
