Individual Therapy
Counselling and psychotherapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment, to explore feelings, beliefs, or behaviours for a wide variety of reasons. This could include; coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with depression or anxiety, to simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge.
We are interested in developing a collaborative working relationship with you as we understand that every client has unique needs and personal goals for their therapeutic journey.

-
Grief and loss

Sexual identity (including LGBTQIAA+, Poly, and BDSM)

Methodologies used are depending on the therapist you see. Please see the About Us page for more details.
We mostly work with adults over the age of 18.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is a formal and disciplined working alliance that is generally, but not necessarily, between a more experienced and a less experienced worker, in which a supervisee’s clinical work is discussed and reflected upon, for the purpose of supporting delivery of a better quality, more confident and creative service to clients.
Clinical supervision is a crucial aspect of clinical governance, with all associations requiring a number of clinical supervisions hours per year. It raises the level of accountability within organisations and in private practice, ensuring client welfare, and supporting clinical staff as they carry out increasingly difficult work.
These sessions are designed for professionals keen to engage in reflective thinking and discussion considering not just the client's needs, but also the practitioners needs and with the goal to work towards maintaining, developing and improving practice.
Sessions with Frances or Rodney are either 60 minutes for 1-1 supervision or 90 - 120 minutes long for groups.
Clinical Group Supervision sessions are online on the 2nd Tuesday, 3rd Thursday, and 3rd Friday's of the month. Please send us an email and we'll pop you on the mailing list for reminders.
