At your first appointment, you will be asked what you want to get from therapy. Please let your therapist know if you are looking for short-term therapy only. They will discuss with you what is achievable with short-term counselling.
We have offered short- and longer-term counselling since 2006. Our therapists know you want results and will support you to make as much progress as possible within the timeframe.

For those who choose short-term counselling, specific goals in therapy will be agreed at your first appointment. In order to get the most from the time you have with your therapist, it is best to limit the focus to just one or two concerns.
Your initial consultation will be followed by 10 weekly appointments with a designated psychotherapist. Together, you and your therapist will work on your specific goals and carefully monitor your progress along the way.
As the 10 sessions come to a close, you will have the option of continuing your appointments for longer should you wish to do so. Some people choose to end at the 10th session, happy that their issues have been resolved. Others find that therapy is more helpful than they expected, and choose to continue longer-term.
Our fees for short-term counselling are the same as for longer-term therapy. Your fee will be agreed at your first appointment, based on your ability to pay.
Though many issues can be successfully addressed with short-term therapy, some issues require more in-depth, longer-term therapy. We will be able to tell you at your first appointment whether your goals in therapy might be achieved through short-term therapy, or if longer-term work is needed.
Though brief therapy is not suitable for everyone, short-term counselling has helped people with issues like stress and anxiety, low moods, problems at work or college, family issues, relationship problems, self-confidence issues and difficult transitions.
