INDIVIDUAL One to one therapy – Clients,  generally,  are seen from once a week. For long term clients this may be up to three or more times a week depending on the nature of the problem. Each session is fifty minutes long with appointments at the same time each week. Some clients will be seen fortnightly.

COUPLE RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING/ THERAPY Couples are seen weekly or  fortnightly.  In couple therapy attention is paid to the processes that occur in the relationship between both members of the couple with a view to understanding the ways in which each ones' ideas and belief systems become entangled and to work towards a realistic understanding of one another within the context of the relationship.  It is important for both members of the couple to attend each session together. Couple therapy can be long term. And, indeed, some couples will need a short period of counselling to get their relationship back on track.  Sessions are for an hour.

GROUP THERAPY    Some issues may best be addressed in group situations where between five to eight participants meet on a weekly or twice weekly basis with ther therapist. Generally people may opt for group therapy after a period of individual or couple therapy. Sessions are one and a half hours duration.
