What treatment involves: There will be an initial assessment meeting where you discuss your problem with the psychologist. After that, there will usually be another meeting where a plan of treatment is worked out. This usually involves a series of weekly hour-long sessions, although sessions may be less often as your problem gets better. The length of treatment depends on the problem. Successful treatment requires the client to be actively involved and motivated to change.The ending of treatment is planned so that both psychologist and client are satisfied with the outcome. Follow-up sessions may be agreed. Treatment is confidential to the client. We offer an integrative approach to psychological therapy, using a range of techniques that have been found to work. These can include:  Helping people to think differently about their problems;  Working out practical means of managing their problems; Life planning to make problems less likely; Learning to deal in different ways with upsetting situations; Recognising and changing problematic patterns of behaviour and styles of thinking; Improving self-esteem and self-worth; Setting clear goals; Understanding the effects of past events on current problems.
