RISE Therapeutic Services
Hypnotherapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy
What you can expect from our sessions....
People are often anxious about therapy as they worry it may be a painful and lengthy process where they are encouraged to talk repeatedly about difficult feelings or events, or even to dig up memories that they would rather not have to revisit. I don't work that way because the latest research shows that this is not the best way to help people move forward.
Our work starts with me listening - truly listening - to what has been going on for you, what has led you to seek some support and, most importantly, what you want to change through working with me. Using the most up-to-date understanding, tools and techniques we will, together, create a plan for moving forward and then work through it in a way, and at a pace, that is right for you as an individual.
The approach I take draws on the best of solution focused, person centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, set within a holistic understanding of what we need as human beings to lead emotionally healthy lives. My aim is that you will leave each session feeling a little better, more hopeful and more confident in your ability to recover or make the changes that you would like to see in your life.
Using the most up-to-date psychotherapeutic understanding and techniques, I will endeavour to help you move forward with your life as quickly and effectively as possible - but at a pace suited to your practical and therapeutic needs. I will not ask you to commit to a lengthy and expensive 'course' of treatment, and you will decide with me at the end of each individual session whether you need to book another.
I will help you to use your unique resources and skill sets to gain confidence in moving forward. If you are troubled by trauma, I will help you to leave distressing events behind, where they belong, in the past. As we work together, you will also learn how to use different tools and techniques that give you back control over strong emotional responses and that allow you to think clearly and make good decisions regarding your future. These tools will then allow you to maintain your emotional health proactively once we have finished working together.
