The main treatment techniques that I use successfully with clients, day in and day out, are based upon the following evidenced based therapies. These are:

Face to Face Therapy

For many people this is their chosen form of therapy and one that they feel most comfortable with. The sessions usually last for one hour and take place weekly, wherever possible. It is then usual to for the sessions to take place less frequently as progress is made to recovery. Please contact me for further details.

Telephone Therapy

It is possible for therapy sessions to take place over the telephone and I have used this with success in the past to overcome problems of geography or with clients who were unable to visit me in person due a disability. Please contact me for further details.

Internet Therapy

For those clients that feel comfortable with this technology, the internet can be great way to deliver therapy. Either simply using the keyboard, or by using a web cam where I can see the client and the client can observe me, it is possible to deliver effect treatment using this approach. Once again, geographical boundaries or the client’s inability to come and see me face to face are not an issue to receiving a high quality therapy service from me.
