WHAT TO EXPECT
INITIAL MEETING
I offer a reduced rate initial session of 45 minutes for us to gain an understanding of each other, discussion of whether you feel a DBT informed approach is right for your needs and to discuss a plan for future sessions.
FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS
If we mutually agree that DBT feels like the right approach for your needs, we would agree to an initial set of 12 sessions lasting 50 minutes each, focused on introducing as many of the core skills from DBT as is practical (which can often be influenced by the flow of conversation), and relating these to real life experiences of your own. These sessions may be adequate for your needs however further sessions can be arranged also.
FURTHER SESSIONS
If the foundational skills sessions have been beneficial, you may wish to continue. Further sessions can help to broaden knowledge of the skills while continuing to explore things that you experience in the present, painful events and emotions from the past and anxieties in the future. These sessions last 50 minutes each and can help to consolidate and practice skills while problem solving any barriers that are encountered as they occur. The number of sessions are flexible and can be led by your needs. I offer the discounted rate of 12 sessions as many times as required.
ACCESS & INFORMATION
I work with adults of any age over 18 who feel they could benefit from a DBT informed approach. It is important to note that DBT was developed to be delivered in a group setting alongside individual sessions, however as I am offering individual therapy only, it is an adapted version of the full therapy. I have worked with many people in this way however and have experienced people reaching their therapeutic goals and making active and sustained changes in their lives. I am fully insured, engage in continued professional development and attend regular supervision.
