About our sessions
I offer individual sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. After the initial consultation, we will set a contract on the agreed number of sessions, and book in dates. The sessions will last 50 minutes.
I also offer Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) either for individuals wishing to pursue an equivalent of an eight week course as a general course of face to face therapy, or as an eight week course for groups of two to three people. I can also give one-off sessions of MBCT for individuals or groups who would like a taster into Mindfulness.
I use the Mindfulness manual of the eight week course, ‘Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression’ devised by Segal, Williams & Teasdale (2013) as part of the therapy.
