Is Psychotherapy For Me?
|
People can be suffering from problems that cause worries, anxieties and sadness without really knowing how to deal with such difficulties. Scientifically based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in London offer straight forward ways of very effectively deal with these challenges.
If you are noticing that your life is getting more and more dominated by anxiety or depression and can't seem to find an answer on how to deal with life's difficulties then therapy may be right for you. Within therapy sessions, be it online or face to face, will be able to explore your problems whilst helping you learn effective and pragmatic ways to deal with these. Everything we talk about is very straight forward and an emphasis will be on gaining insights whilst processing relevant aspects of your life. We will also look at which elements of CBT will be helpful for yourself in order to work on your difficulties. You will learn what keeps your difficulties going and following that, we will explore things for you to practice outside of the therapy sessions in order to enable a beneficial change in your life. Everything we do is underpinned by scientific principles and many people usually notice a significant alleviation of their problems after about the fourth session. Before engaging in therapy, an introductory phone call would assess whether my style of Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy is a good fit for yourself. Feel free to get in touch by clicking here. |

Understanding your difficulties will provide the foundation to be able to engage in concepts and techniques from different styles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. We will initially form an idea of what your difficulties are, how they are maintained and what you can do in order to improve things. You will also understand which circumstances within yourself and your environment improve and worsen your problems in the long- and short term.
Whatever method you engage in, will be tailored towards yourself and will be tested by you trying things out in-between sessions. If things improve, then we will continue with our initial understanding of your difficulties and if not, create new problem hypothesis which you then test again by trying new methods until we will have formulated a tailored understanding and corresponding interventions that fit the bil..
