Therapy sessions and psychological coaching
It is important to us that people coming for psychology sessions feel as comfortable as possible, so we aim to create an informal and relaxed atmosphere. We know it can be difficult opening up to a stranger about personal issues so we go at your pace, always trying to identify and provide what you need to feel supported.
We offer a range of approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement De-sensitisation and Reprocessing) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which are both evidence-based approaches to addressing difficulties and improving well-being. You may already know which approach you want to use, or you might want our recommendations. We will always ensure that we have a shared understanding about your goals for therapy, we will offer hypotheses about why your difficulties might have arisen and/or what’s been getting in the way of you living the way you want to. You will therefore be able to make an informed choice about whether and how you want to work with us. At all stages of our work we want to hear about what feels helpful and about things we could do better.
Issues that we commonly help people with include:
Issues related to sport/performance - coping with pressure, performance anxiety, body image and disordered eating, coping with injury, identity and self-esteem, managing transitions, setbacks and disappointments including adjusting to retirement, whether planned or enforced.
The frequency and duration of sessions will be agreed with you, whether you are looking for a limited number of sessions to work on specific goals, or for longer-term more supportive, exploratory or reflective work.
We are currently developing some time-limited interventions to support people facing specific scenarios, e.g. coping with injury, managing performance anxiety and pressure, and bouncing back from setbacks. Please watch this space for more details, or contact us.
