Self-therapy
​
Self-therapy is an approach to counselling which enables you to become responsible for your own mental health over your lifetime. Whilst occasionally it is important to seek the support of a qualified counsellor, generally speaking you may be able to make good progress on your own. Armed with some basic knowledge about counselling approaches you can either work alone, or with a trusted friend or family member, to manage difficult emotions and develop long term mental health strategies to get you functioning at your optimum again.
​
This approach can be taught in just a few sessions with the support of an online tool. If you're particularly self motivated, it can even be done without face-to-face support at all, but an introductory session is recommended. However, you may find that a standard 6 session block, to get to the root of your issue, combined with support to understand how to manage it over the longer term may be most beneficial.

Research
​
We are currently conducting further research into therapeutic methodologies combined with learning theory. 'Therapeutic learning' is a counselling approach based on recent research which integrates Person-centred therapy and other therapeutic approaches with the principles of long term learning.
