Individual Psychotherapy
Some people seek individual therapy because they have felt depressed, anxious, or angry for a long time. Others for a chronic illness that interfears with their emotional or physical well-being. Short-term problems that need help to navigate are also reasons for seeking a therapist. Going through a divorce, facing an empty nest, feeling overwhelmed by a new job or grieving a family member’s death for example.
Individual therapy is a collaborative effort based on the relationship that develops between you and your therapist. This relationship as collaboration is important. Both of you need to be invested in achieving your goals. The supportive environment it creates allows you to talk openly and freely with someone objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental. This dialog can often focus on your early experiences to help you better understand the root causes of your current problems. Your family’s history for example as well as how your problem is affecting your life today.
Our Approach
The process of building a trusting, therapeutic relationship enables you to share things you didn’t feel comfortable with at first. In sessions you work together to identify and understand the thoughts and behaviors that have caused problems. This leads to clarity around them and as sessions progress you begin to resolve the problem that brought you to psychotherapy. You may also notice that you begin to view both yourself and the world differently as you begin to discover new ways of thinking and behaving. Both for yourself and with those around you.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
There is no pointless navel-gazing involved in working with Nick – his approach is unfailingly kind but also challenging, and there is never a wasted moment. If he picks you up on a detail you previously thought was insignificant or asks a question that seems obscure (and he will), trust him and go with it. All will become clear!
I have been seeing Nick for over a year, and in this short time period he has managed to change my life completely, and I will forever be grateful for that.
Always calm and confident, Nick walked me through each challenge and difficulty, throughout a mutual discussion and endless patience. In addition to being a knowledgeable and insightful professional, Nick’s kindness and sincere empathy makes him a wonderful therapist. I feel privileged to have met Nick, and I can’t imagine going through this process with anyone else. Thank you Nick
Finding someone you connect with and who quickly understands your issues can be a daunting task, but Nick helped me realise that I didn’t need feel overwhelmed by all the plates I was spinning and we have since been working together to help rebuild my confidence and fully engage with and appreciate life again.
If you are looking for psychological freedom from your troubles and to live a happier, joyful life, then I would highly recommend HTP, and suggest you get in touch Nick when you finish reading this. I think he’ll give you a free first consultation, so what’s there to lose.
I started sessions with Nick to overcome a number of emotional issues that left me completely overwhelmed, anxious and depressed. I found the sessions instantly helpful, simply knowing that Nick was listening to me, understanding my difficulties and offering care and attention. Through the sessions, I was able to view my problems and my life in a completely different light. This has helped in ways I never thought possible
The initial discomfort of feeling the need to seek help soon ebbed away as Nick’s open , non-formulaic and inspiring approach first challenged me to reconsider my view of myself but also , the world around me. I found our sessions frequently to be both a source of thought provoking insight and a focal point to a more reasoned and energised future. I now truly appreciate the time I spent with Nick and consider him to be the significant inspiration to my ongoing well being. Thank you , Nick!
