Getting The 'Real You' Back with BlackStar Counselling
Person-centred Counselling
Person-centred counselling is a non-directive approach that believes you should be the expert in your own life. I will support and empower you to take the lead, trusting that you possess the innate drive and ability to heal, grow, and reach your full potential.
I am able to offer other ways of working but will always do so remaining person-centred, keeping you at the heart of our work.
Rewind Therapy & Flash technique
The Rewind Technique is a safe, brief therapy approach used to treat trauma, phobias, and PTSD. It helps your brain reprocess distressing, painful memories so they stop causing panic or flashbacks.
Flash is a simpler process that helps with the uncomfortable, upsetting memories that are holding you back or troubling you.
The best part? I will not ask you to relive or retell what happened. You do not have to talk about the painful details of what you experienced or happened to you - and both are quick: Both are proven to help in a single session - but Rewind is intended to be repeated 3 times for most benefit.
Single Session Therapy
Single-session therapy (SST) is a planned and focused 'one-time' counselling session. We will talk beforehand, agree the issue to be faced and then meet with the goal of helping you to resolve that specific problem; gain clarity, and learn actionable coping strategies: - in a single meeting.
It is not a quick fix for issues such as trauma, but it empowers you to take control of your next steps using a solution focused approach.
And we can always arrange to meet again for another issue or to revisit if things change...
Walk & Talk
Walk & Talk combines the mental health benefits of traditional person-centred therapy with the proven benefits of gentle relaxed movement in the fresh air and the healing properties of nature. (Some GP's now prescribe these rather than anti-depressants).
Walk and Talk therapy will take your therapy out of the office and into the outdoors; we will agree a location and walk side-by-side through nature.
We could even combine things we find in a creative way or try a little 'Forest bathing' if the mood takes you!
Pricing:
Single Session Therapy is £70 and includes;
- an initial 20 minute consultation by telephone
- a 75 minute appointment.
All other appointments are £45 for a 50 minute appointment.
***Rewind requires 2 appointments a fortnight apart - the therapy and a follow up review/assessment - total cost £90. A single therapy and review is often sufficient but the technique is most effective if 3 therapy and review sessions are completed. The next therapy can be conducted in the same session as the review is completed. A full 'bundle' - all 3 sessions and reviews could be arranged at a reduced single payment of £160
