What Can I Expect From Therapy?

The aim of therapy is to work collaboratively with the client to increase their understanding of themselves and address areas of concern in a meaningful yet timely manner. The process aims to increase the client’s understanding and awareness of their current difficulties, and to help them to learn strategies that will enable them to overcome areas of difficulty and work towards improving their overall quality of life.

 

There are many aspects to psychological treatment, and these may include helping you to:

• learn skills for managing problems

• understand and change the way your thoughts affect the way you feel and act

• become aware of and understand your emotions

• understand how past experiences in your life can influence the way you think, feel and act now

• explore and change the way you relate to people and how you communicate within your relationships

 

Psychological therapy is aimed at helping you to identify and modify previously unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving. At Woodford Clinical Psychology, we aim to give you the self-confidence and the necessary skills to cope better in the future.

​

Psychological Intervention:

Psychological treatments help you to understand why you feel, think and act in ways which might be unhelpful to you and work towards changing these. Our therapeutic approach is adapted to your needs based on our experience and training in multiple different psychological counselling techniques.

​

There are many types of psychological treatment which are proven to be effective. Some common psychological treatment approaches are:

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

 

Psychological treatments vary in the length of time they take to be effective and the benefits of psychological treatments tend to happen at a different rate for different individuals. Length of treatment is often dependent on the severity of the the problem. Sessions typically last 50 minutes and we regularly review your progress to make sure the treatment is the right one for you.

 

Sessions are held in our clinic in Mount Cotton or can also be conducted via telehealth (secure platform COVIU) as needed.
