Individual Therapy :: Individual Therapy, phobias, ptsd, depression, confidence, anxiety :: Effective Therapy Centre :: Offer a full range of specialist psychotherapy services that promote sustained emotional health and well being in people of all ages and backgrounds using the Human Givens approach.

With our brief, down to earth solution-focussed approach we can help our clients with a wide range of challenges such as:
DEPRESSION:
Through developing a clear understanding of how the cycle of depression gets set up, the relationship between depression and excessive dreaming and how the condition is maintained we can quickly help our clients make immediate improvements from the first visit and set them on a path to a full recovery in a matter of weeks.
TRAUMATIC MEMORIES AND PTSD:
Our non-voyeuristic approach is of great importance when dealing with memories of abuse or trauma of a very explicit nature. We help our clients reprogram these memories so they are no longer affected by them but we do not need to know the details of the trauma or abuse. Frequently just 1 appointment is needed to de-traumatize memories and flashbacks that have been crippling for years.
PHOBIAS:
Using a process called ‘Rewind' we can help our clients eliminate phobias, often in just one visit.
ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS:
An understanding of the fight or flight response and how we trigger it coupled with a variety of relaxation techniques practiced using guided imagery quickly help our clients deal with anxiety and avoid panic attacks in the future.
ADDICTIONS:
When our clients cultivate an understanding of how the addictive process works to trick them they are in a better position to begin the challenge of overcoming it. No therapist in the world can cure addictions. Only the client can do so when there is a genuine willingness to beat the addiction. We help to get that motivation established and employ a variety of skills to steer our clients steadily in a new direction, all the while accepting and acknowledging that relapse is part of the process of beating an addiction. Success is not an all or nothing business. Any step in the right direction is success. The important thing is to never give up. We take a very practical and realistic approach to treating addictions.
SLEEP DISORDERS:
Through cultivating an understanding of the sleep cycle and interferences with that cycle and through a host of therapeutic interventions we guide our clients to re-establish good sleep patterns again.
SELF-CONFIDENCE:
By tapping into the individuals innate resources, often forgotten about, we can quickly help our clients boost their self-confidence and help them move on in whatever direction they so desire, always bearing in mind the goal of meeting needs in balance.
CONFLICT:
Relationship difficulties are often self-perpetuating because our beliefs and reactions to one another trigger patterns of behavior which stop us solving them. If both parties of a relationship (this could be parent-child, family members, work colleagues or any other type of relationship as well as a couple relationship) are willing to work together we can provide the guidance to help recognise the obstacles standing in the way of a healthy relationship and begin the process of restoring balance and harmony, so allowing each party to develop respect and understanding for the other and encouraging all concerned to set about meeting their own needs and also help the other to meet their needs too.
STRESS:
A word too many people are all too familiar with, we help our clients first to clearly recognise where stress is coming in their lives. There is an important distinction between stress and stretching. We all need to be stretched, to feel we are developing as human beings, and when we do stretch ourselves, Nature rewards us by flooding our bodies with “feel-good” chemicals so that we feel encouraged to continue. However, when we become overloaded we suffer in so many ways. Our mood becomes unstable and we can become frightened and depressed. Our immune system becomes suppressed and we are more vulnerable to a host of illnesses. We become less effective in our work. Our relationships suffer. Often, we cannot see the wood for the trees. By helping our clients to relax deeply and then to constructively use the imagination to come up with new approaches to reducing the stressors we can guide our clients to quickly reduce their stress-load and make practical plans to keep their lives in balance.
MANAGE ANGER:
Anger disorders damage health, increase the likelihood of an early death and cause enormous misery among relatives, colleagues and innocent bystanders. We can help our clients gain an understanding of the process involved in triggering the anger and set about establishing a plan of prevention. We deal with both the cause of the anger and offer techniques for managing it in a more effective manner.
