Together we identify what might be stopping you from reaching your full potential and what action you need to take to change your situation. Therapists look beyond presenting problems to possible underlying causes. The aim of CBT and CBC is to help you change your behaviour to that which is more productive for you. The process helps you move towards becoming the kind of person you want to be with attaining the types of outcomes you desire both personally and professionally. There are many different models of coaching and counselling to choose from. We do not believe there is one model that helps everyone as each person is an individual and what might suit one person may not necessarily suit another. However, we offer Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Coaching. We aim to be sensitive to the cultural and ethnic origins of individuals and to people's religious beliefs and sexual orientation. We operate our practice along the lines normally associated with an equal opportunities employer. We offer prospective clients an Assessment Interview. This provides both parties with an opportunity to consider whether they wish to work together. It is just as important that you feel comfortable with your therapist or coach, as it is that he or she feels able to work with you. At the end of the first session we would arrange to meet for an agreed number of sessions. There is no obligation to attend all the sessions arranged and you are free to terminate your appointments at any time. A review session takes place at the end of the agreed number of sessions where we jointly assess progress and what further action, if any, may be needed. If we decide not to work together we try to provide you with details of alternative practitioners or agencies. Sessions usually last for one hour and if you are late arriving we still terminate at the usual time so as not to delay the next person. We leave 15 minutes between sessions to allow those people wishing to remain anonymous the opportunity of doing so. We see clients during the day as well as in the evening and special appointments can be arranged for the weekend. The sessions for coaching clients may vary in length from between one and three hours and the length of sessions are mutually agreed.
