“Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well” – Josh Billings

If you find something is getting in the way of your enjoyment of life – or stopping you from moving on – then therapy is a good solution. Therapy can help solve long-term, complex difficulties such as depression or addiction, as well as short-term hurdles such as phobias.
It is a very valuable tool for positive, personal development, too – for example, improving your motivation, developing professionally, or mastering a sport or creative activity.
People often ask ‘How long will it take to sort this out?’ This is rather like the old cliché ‘How long is a piece of string?’ There are many factors – including your commitment to therapy, how often you see me, and how many ‘layers’ or perspectives there are to the problem. To give you a guide, some of the more straightforward cases can be resolved in JUST ONE SESSION. At the other end of the scale, long-term, complex, on-going and embedded problems are likely to take 20-30 sessions or more. About SIX TO TWELVE SESSIONS is a fair estimate for most cases.
Types of Therapy on Offer
All of the therapies that I offer are designed to help you resolve whatever brings you to see me. Most of these therapies are ‘brief’ therapies – taking weeks or months, rather than years. I will typically use Psychotherapy, CBT and Hypnotherapy in combination, often adding other therapies such as NLP and ThetaDNA into the sessions. There is always more than one way to get the job done.
There are many different types of therapy which use different perspectives and models. All have their role to play, but some are more effective than others. I use a variety of proven techniques and approaches – ones that I know work and produce results.
I work with Solution Oriented Psychotherapy, Strategic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Hypnotherapy, the Human Givens approach, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy, Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT), Chinosis, ThetaDNA (see news section on home page), counselling skills and Sedona method, as well as Healing therapies.
