Individual therapy is a talking therapy which consists of one-to-one sessions. We start with an initial consultation, usually followed by regular meetings in which we discuss the difficulties you experience. You can talk about current events and feelings as well as those from the past. You can attend a few sessions or engage in a longer-term, open-ended process. In talking therapy we are able to tackle specific issues such as loss of a loved one or burnout at work, as well as less defined dilemmas and frustrations you may experience in your daily life. Beyond this, there are many types of therapeutic approaches and you are encouraged to ask your practitioner about their basic modality if you’re interested to know more. 

Here are some examples of issues which you can work on in therapy:

• Low mood, depression, or mood fluctuations
• Anxiety and overwhelming emotions
• Relationship and interpersonal difficulties 
• Lack of satisfaction, stress or burnout
• Self-image and body image issues
• Trauma and significant life changes
• Loss and bereavement
