How many times have you reached for something and it didn’t work out? Then, when you study the real reasons why, it’s because you weren’t focused enough, or you made excuses, or your attitude wasn’t right, or you doubted that it would ever happen? MOST things are possible when we get out of our own way and allow all of the opportunities and the possibilities to materialise. Over the next 7 days, catch yourself whenever you are holding yourself back in some way.

What does GOOD Communication Look Like?

Single Session Therapy aka SST is an opportunity to have just one session of therapy and dive deep into the issue. The therapist will help you to uncover what is at the root of the issue, provide strategies, techniques, and other interventions and give you the opportunity to kickstart the journey towards resolving your issues. Whilst previously working as a Telephone Counsellor for an EAP Service (Employee Assistance Programme), I was part of a group of counsellors in a pilot scheme that rolled out SST and the results were surprisingly good. I believe there is power in just ONE session of therapy and it can also mean that for those who cannot afford the financial commitment of long-term therapy or time-limited sessions, this could be the compromise needed. If you would like to know more about SST, please send me a message thank you.

I truly believe in the idea of short-term, time-limited therapy because I know that it works. Long-term therapy is also important but for many people, the commitment and the cost involved, means that they end up deciding to opt out of therapy altogether. Time-limited therapy provides an opportunity to work with a therapist and really get down to the core of the issue. Both therapist and client understand that there is a limited amount of time to work together and therefore, I believe that there's a level of intensity and urgency, as well as getting the most out of each session.

I also provide Single Session Therapy and I'll provide some information about that separately on this page. If you're curious to find out more about time-limited therapy, please get in contact.
