Focused Therapy
Focused therapy offers two approaches which can be combined. Talking therapy to give you the space to feel heard and understood and coaching guidance to take achievable, meaningful action steps.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we create a personalised approach that supports you as a whole person.
Together, we explore what’s going on for you — what you’re thinking and feeling, what’s going on in your life and how it is affecting you. This is a safe space to say the things you’ve been holding in, to explore doubts and fears, and be honest about what's going on
As we carry on talking, we add in practical tools to start planning what needs to change for you to feel better. For most clients, this involves a combination of addressing physical symptoms, adjusting habits, creating new supportive routines, working with mindset and outlook, and bringing everything together in a holistic and sustainable way.
All sessions are offered online, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
How does focused therapy work?
Working 1:1 with a therapist is a supportive relationship which focuses on where you are now and what you would like to be different in the short, mid and long term.
We do not follow a generic plan or agenda - we work in a way which fits with your current situation. We agree to some general goals at the start and then see what comes up on our way to getting there.
Each session will include space to talk and express how you've been feeling. Then we will explore what's been working and what hasn't, review your action points, decide on what small but significant changes we can add in.
Action goals might be:
-
Time management and balancing commitments
-
Building up self-care, ensuring you are taking some time out for yourself
-
Understanding the impact of your movement, nutrition, sleep & physical health
-
Trying new habits like mindfulness, time in nature, exercise snacking or better hydration
Your commitment
Therapy is an active process which means you will be encouraged to commit to making small, steady changes between sessions. Change doesn’t happen just by talking about it, it requires action!
