Individual therapy

Psychotherapy and Counselling help clients to identify feelings and ways of thinking that enable them to gain understanding and insight into their difficulties. Our approach is an interpersonal, relational process to aid you in your problems of living. Sessional work may be on an individual basis, or together with your spouse or partner, if you are experiencing relational difficulties.

Individual therapy

The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) defines psychotherapy as:

"Psychotherapy is the provision by qualified practitioners of a formal and professional relationship within which patients/clients can profitably explore difficult, and often painful, emotions and experiences. These may include feelings of anxiety, depression, trauma, or perhaps the loss of meaning of one's life. It is a process which seeks to help the person gain an increased capacity for choice, through which the individual becomes more autonomous and self determined"

Examples of ProTherapy working with individuals include:

  • Increasing personal awareness to instigate change
  • Unlocking psychological resources and skills
  • Enhancing problem solving skills to restore a level of confidence and self-esteem

The agreed sessions are normally for 50 minutes duration and take place on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
