| How the team can help; |
| The main reason for seeing one of the team here, is to feel better, as quickly as possible. Our goal is to help people to achieve fast, effective and confidential treatment by doing the following; |
| Understanding a person’s problems. |
The first important step is to meet and to spend some time building a detailed understanding of the problems someone is experiencing. This may take one, hour long meeting, or it may take several meetings, depending on the extent of a person’s difficulties and how they are feeling about them. Once we both feel that a good and thorough understanding of the type, range and severity of the problems has been achieved, the next goal is usually to try to understand why the problem has occurred and why it has not gone away with time. Once we understand the problems in detail and some of the underlying causes, then we can begin to make an informed and effective plan together for helping to change things for the better. |
| Treatment, and making things change for the better. |
| Having the opportunity to discuss personal feelings with someone who understands, aside from family and friends, can feel like a relief. However, it is also very important to develop techniques and strategies for changing things in a more effective and lasting way. Treatment with us involves an agreed period when we will teach a range of techniques and strategies which have been specifically tailored to suit an individual and their difficulties. Planning treatment to suit particular individual needs in this way is usually much more effective than using ‘off the peg’ strategies which can be found in self help books or other general advice. We will monitor closely together as things begin to improve and we will offer additional help and support in dealing with any ‘rocky patches’ experienced along the way. Lots of people notice big improvements quickly using this approach. |
