About your Counselling & Psychotherapy at Leicester Therapy

WHY THERAPY? 

Choosing whether to start therapy can bring up many questions within us. “Do I really need therapy?” “Are my problems and experiences even worth talking about?” We can often feel insecure, embarrassed, and even a little afraid to enter into therapy. With this in mind, I not only validate these concerns, but I encourage you all the more to reach out despite these difficult feelings. Therapy can be helpful for us to understand these emotions.  For some, it may be their first time exploring therapy as an option. Using an Integrative approach I treat each person as an individual and your therapy is tailored to suit your needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT LEICESTER THERAPY.

01We will start with a brief phone conversation so that I can get a sense of the kind of support that you are looking for. I'll ask for some basic information to get to know you and also use this time to answer any questions that you might have. If it feels like we are a good fit for working together, we can then schedule either a face to face or online appointment.

02 In the first few sessions, I will learn more about you and together, we will explore the goals you have for therapy. Do you want to build healthier relationships? Learn how to better manage emotions and stress? Or even identifying patterns that keep us feeling "stuck" in our lives? Have you experienced trauma, childhood issues, have difficulty with Addiction, ADHD, ASD, BPD, relationship issues? What ever the reasons are I'm here to support you through the whole process. 

03The length and number of sessions will differ depending on your goals and needs for therapy. For some, a handful of sessions to address an acute issue will be enough, versus, others may need consistent, weekly sessions for months or years depending on each individuals needs.  Please get in touch so we can discuss this and ensure you are getting the support you are looking for.
