In 2016 a research study was undertaken to look at the effectiveness of the IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapy) services. After careful analysis the indication is that ‘Counselling is as effective in the treatment of Depression as is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ https://link.springer.com
I am aware that the waiting times for ‘Talking Therapies’ from the IAPT service is extensive, and in many cases patients have had to wait several months. I am personally saddened that a system designed to support you, is at this time struggling to cope with the high volume of individuals requiring psychological support.
I can offer support by means of Integrative Talking Therapy’s and CBT approaches, tailored to fit your psychological need. I have extensive experience working alongside individuals who have sought counselling for depression, low mood, anxiety and many other issues that caused for them dis-harmony and unhappiness.
If you have reached a point where you would like to take back control of your psychological well being in order to be the best that you can possibly be, why not give me a call, or send me an e-mail, you have nothing to lose and only your sense of well being to re-gain.
I look forward to hearing from you.
