How does therapy work?
Therapy offers you a confidential space to reflect on your life and experiences with a view to breaking unhelpful patterns and coping mechanisms which can hold you back from enjoying life. Having a place to explore whats important to you at your own pace in the company of an empathic and compassionate person can help you to feel validated and can heal past experiences. With time people can find new meaning in their lives and have a greater sense of well-being.
Why do couples come for therapy?
Relationships can be very challenging and often people can find themselves in reoccurring conflicts and arguments. Having relationship therapy can help each person feel heard and seen and create a sense of reconnection and re-romanticing. It can help people get to the core of why differences are causing challenges and increate communication skills.
Wouldnt it be just as benefical to talk to friends or family?.
As kind, compassionate and well meaning all your friends and family are, they all have a vested interest in the choices you make and the way you live your life. Their helpful advice in rarely completely unbiased. In therapy, the therapist has no connection with your outside life and can help you explore things from an objective view point. With the safely of the confidential agreement you can talk freely and openly. Therapists are not problem solvers but are there to witness, validate and acknowledge your feelings and emotions.
How often would I come to therapy?
Sessions are usually weekly for individuals and either weekly or fortnightly for couples or relationship work. Some fortnightly appointments for individuals are available to be discussed on an case by case basis.
Is what we discuss in sessions confidential?
Everything you share in therapy is strictly confidential subject to the exceptions in the contract in which therapist have a legal or ethical duty of care to share. This is usually where someone is at significant risk. See the confidentiality statement here
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can call Shana on 07774641890, email at Shana@heartfultherapy.co.uk or use the booking form on the website.
Shana will then be in touch to book a free initial consultation.
Individual sessions are £75 and last 50 minutes
Couple and Relationship Therapy is £100 for 1 hour and £150 for 90 minutes
These fees are payable 24 hours in advance of each session
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
Research shows that the most important factor in the progress the client makes in therapy is the relationship they build with the therapist. You need to feel comfortable, safe and well supported. A good therapist will also challenge you to gain self awareness.
Always have a session before making any forward decisions, I offer a free 15 minute call and then we can book a first session. Clients are always free to leave at any time and we will keep checking into see if you are getting what you need from therapy.
How many sessions will I need?
This will depend hugely on each unique client and what they are bringing to the sessions. This can be discussed during the first few appointments. I offer both long term open ended therapy and short time limited work for those people that prefer a set number of session.
What if I need to cancel or I am ill?
I operate a 48 hour cancellation window for all booked and reoccurring appointments. Should you cancel sooner than 48 hours before the session, fees will still be charged.
I will be as flexible as possible to rearrange appointments with suitable notice and sessions missed with notice will not be charged.
