Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are usually around 50 minutes. Sessions will be held in the same place and at the same time, weekly, unless otheriwse agreed. The length of the work will depend of the needs of the individual and will be negotiated between the individual, the individuals family (if they are a child) and the therapist. Individual therapy can provide a quiet, non-judgmental space for exploration, play and expression. This can support the processing of difficult feelings and experiences by help to bridging the gap between subjective experience and verbal dialogue.
Group Therapy
Group therapy lasts around 90-120 minutes per session, depending on the size of the group. Groups are usually around 3-10 people in size. It will be held in the same place, at the same time, weekly, unless otherwise agreed. Group therapy can provide a rich experience, where individuals can develop communication and social confidence, increase self-esteem, process feelings & experiences and relate to others. It also provides a space where individuals can explore shared experience and gives the oppurtunity to support and be supported.
