There are many reasons for someone seeking help and Independent Therapy Solutions Limited provides as wide a range of services, from as many locations as possible, including the internet and e-therapy.
Counselling and Psychotherapy, whether it is given as a face-to-face consultation or in an online setting, is, literally, therapy for the psyche. To an extent, it is true that any constructive work that is designed to help you feel better about part of your life can be considered as psychotherapy. Most of the time, the work is ‘client-centred’ – that is, the work that is done and the way it is done takes account of how your particular personality works in your world and the outcome that you desire. It does not involve somebody seeking to impress upon you a set of ‘rules’ or ideas that they themselves consider to be correct or seeking to make you do something you don’t want to do.
A lot of the time, online psychotherapy is every bit as effective as a ‘live’ session; not only that, psychotherapy online has the advantage of being easier to access and some people will find it more comfortable to discuss intimate issues without having to ‘look someone in in the eye’. There are some situations, though, where face-to-face consultation is strongly indicated if the best results are to be found; where we consider this to be the case, we will advise you accordingly.
It is important to remember that a good psychotherapist is completely non-judgemental and will seek only to help you achieve that which you wish to achieve, or perhaps act as a ‘mentor’ or guide to help you find a solution to your difficulties
From our static centre we provide a range of psychological interventions such as counselling and psychotherapy delivered in a one to one or group setting.
We can communicate via e-mail or perhaps use our interactive online consultation. Web Cam technology can also be utilised.
Telephone consultations take place at an arranged time to landlines in the u.k.
For many people the first benefit of using our service is to be honestly and genuinely respected in a safe non judgemental relationship. For others there will be a sense of ‘relief’ just from telling their story and from taking the first steps to address their problem.
