Psychological therapy sessions are 50 minutes in duration.
This same time will be reserved for you each week should you decide to continue with your therapy sessions.
Weekly attendance is required in order for you to benefit from therapy.
Late cancellations and missed appointments are payable in full unless 48 hours notice is given or an exceptional circumstance has arisen.
If you do not commit to regular therapy, your therapists might not be able to continue seeing you for treatment unless you have moved to a maintenance program with your therapists after having successfully engaged in weekly sessions.
Please note that there is no reception on evenings and weekends, so you’ll be asked to meet your therapist at the exact appointment time.
We are based online and at Front office unit, The Hatchery, Martyr’s Rd., Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, Ireland.
The main approaches that practitioners use are
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This approach focuses in the here and now. It provides practical strategies to try between sessions to break the cycle which maintains someones difficulties. Techniques to change thoughts, beliefs and behaviours are offered in order to see a change in emotions and physiology and achieve a specific goal.
Best for: anxiety disorders, depression, low-self esteem, problem solving, minor relationship difficulties.
Psychodynamic Therapy
This approach focuses more on the deeper routed nature of a persons difficulties and looks at how early life relationships influence us now in terms of our interpersonal relationships and how we deal with our emotions. This approach can offer practical tools to try also however it is usually less structured than CBT.
Best for: Recurrent depression or anxiety, interpersonal problems, relationship difficulties, increasing self awareness, childhood emotional neglect, attachment issues, low-self esteem, addictions.
Integrative Therapy
Integrates either the two main approaches above or other evidenced based approaches. Everyone is different and one approach does not always fit all people with the same difficulty. Therefore sometimes therapists will integrate two or more approaches into your treatment. If you like we can match you with a therapist who can do both of the main approaches above in addition to other techniques so that they can tailor the treatment around you and your needs as much as possible.
Best for: Individuals who do not meet specific diagnostic criteria and who do not have a specific preference regarding approaches.
