The Centre is a private practice furnished to our clients' needs. Coming to a talk to someone you don't know yet about your private life, thoughts and needs can be a daunting experience. Therefore your comfort is very important to us. Many clients have commented on how comfortable the space is and how safe they feel.
Psychotherapy helps gaining insight into what makes us who we are and understand our difficulties. By looking at thinking, feeling, beliefs and behavioural patterns, as well at individual history, relationships and motivation a greater understanding can then lead to positive change.
Depending on the nature of your problem, therapy can be short or long term and can be provided on a one-to-one basis, for couples, families and within psychotherapy groups.

Although the terms psychotherapy and counselling are used interchangeably and there are similarities, there are also distinct differences. Both the main UK governing bodies UKCP and BACP have different views on whether there actually is a difference. Here we focus mainly on what qualifications and training are required to either become a psychotherapist or counsellor and what each can and cannot do when working with clients.
Sometimes it might be useful to join a therapy group. Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and Counselling has been designed as a group therapy and this has many advantages. Group size is usually between 4-6. So when is it best to join a group? A group is facilitated safely and at the beginning of the group we contract with each member on how much time they need in that particular session and make sure that you have a satisfactory experience.
