Your friends tell you how attractive you are. You date and yet somehow you cant help thinking youre not good enough, pretty enough, confident enough. If a date doesnt go well you think its your fault even though you try telling yourself it isnt. Sometimes you cry yourself to sleep wishing you were different|?

Your partner tells you how much he loves you, your relationship is good and yet, sometimes you feel so jealous. At a party you follow his movements, you see him talking to an attractive woman, is he talking about you? Is he planning to leave you for her? You both argue in the car on the way home, you end up crying, he ends up sleeping on the sofa|?.

Hello, my name is Francine Brett and 'Into Minds' is my private therapy practice offering confidential sessions to individuals and couples. I studied with the Open University between 1995 and 2001 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree(Honours) in Psychology and Applied Social Sciences and a Diploma in Applied Social Sciences.
The model of psychotherapy I practice is predominantly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, 'CBT' for short and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy which is a form of depth psychology (exploring underlying motives), the primary focus of which is to reveal the unconscious content of a client's psyche in an effort to alleviate psychic tension.
Couple therapy is about helping the relationship, rather than one partner or the other. The main idea is that a relationship is made by both, even if it doesnt seem that way; for example, if one person seems more dominant, the other is still contributing in some way to the dynamic. This means that it is not going to help much to try and find fault.
Sessions last for one hour and daytime and evening appointments are available Monday to Friday at my home in Northway, Tewkesbury, Glos. Session fees are 35 for individuals and 45 for couples, payable in cash either in advance of or at the start of the session. Family groups are charged at 60 per hourly session.

I have known Francine in a personal and professional capacity for nearly 20 years. We share a professional specialist interest in working with relationship issues, with couples, families, individuals and other groups. As well as being very knowledgable, professional, caring and creative in her work, over the years, I have found Francine to be a true inspiration and a real source of professional and personal wisdom; qualities which I have valued and come to rely on for many years. I can unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of psychological therapy.

Francine provides a fabulous service in a safe environment for you to discuss those issues in life where you need a neutral, non- judgmental person to help. Fully trained and skilled in assisting with a wide variety of emotional and physical issues that occur in many of our lives. Personally I found the experience a very interesting journey. Tough at times, having to re-call and discuss some of the difficult times and although upset at times always felt safe. Opening up to feelings that sit deep within is hard. Facing dealing with those issues is hard. Changing your mindset is hard. But, if you
