Psychotherapy

PSYCHOtherapy can be a scary word! Maybe because it still conjures up pictures of us "being examined" or "scrutinised". The truth is nothing like that. Sometimes in life we just need someone else to help us out with the deeper, sometimes longer-lived problems in our life. And that is what good therapy is about. Clients aren't "in therapy" - they come in and use the time and space and Mark's skills to make sense of previously troubling issues. You can use Mark's experience to help you overcome hurdles and move on.

Psychotherapy is useful where we have a number of problems and patience is a consideration. Deep change is not overnight. However it does not need to mean that it lasts for years! Many of Mark's clients achieve what they want in under 10 sessions. Some people find that seeing a therapist for a longer period of time suits them. During a first appointment with Mark a clearer assessment can be given.

There are many different forms of therapy. Mark uses Integrative Psychotherapy - as the name suggests integrating well-established methods that fit the individual. The focus is on behavioural change using what we know works from neuroscience.
