What To Expect
Many adults access our services for psychological therapy with one of our highly trained Psychologists. Prior to the commencement of therapy, the first appointment is an initial assessment and usually lasts 1.5 hours. It may include the completion of questionnaires as well as extensive discussions with the clinician in order that they can understand the nature of your difficulties. Therapy sessions usually last 1 hour but may be slightly extended for some types of therapies. Therapy sessions with a Psychologist offer the most comprehensive and informed form of talking therapy available. Discussions here will allow your Psychologist to explore and analyse current difficulties and their origins/effects. The Psychologist will help the client to safely process any difficult past experiences, and will help them to develop new (more adaptive) ways of thinking and being. Therapy with a Psychologist is usually more ‘active’ and structured than with a counsellor or Psychotherapist and includes learning about, and trying out, various evidence-based strategies and therapeutic techniques.

Specialist in-depth assessments e.g. Clinical Psychology / Educational Psychology usually extend over a greater number of sessions.
