TTC Talks @ 1 - Informal Lunchtime CPD Sessions Introducing Therapeutic Approaches & Promoting Cross Modality Conversations

Members of The Therapy Clinic enjoyed another TTC Talks @ 1 session where Ellie Carn presented on Short-Term or Brief Therapy.

This is an instalment of a series of monthly lunchtime CPD sessions, introducing members to the diverse range of therapy models we offer at The Therapy Clinic.

Kate West, Associate, reflects on this talk:

“Our second TTC Talks @1 session with Ellie Carn last week led to a lively discussion about the merits of short term therapy. Ellie is specifically experienced and trained in short-term therapy models and presented to a room full of therapists working mainly in open ended, longer term models.

Ellie Emphasised the following key factors of success for short term therapy:

  • Clarity and transparency, short term work must be treated as such from the outset. With a select focus in the work on the issues the client brings.
  • Focus in the work is essential to the success of the intervention, and may require a benign neglect of other issues not central to the work.
  • Other key factors include the necessity of identifying key themes, or goals, or needs, with immediacy and formulating these in to the focus of the work.
  • The idea of SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely) can be helpful in effective short-term work, for therapist and client.

As with any therapy a lot of the success of the work rests on a good formulation at the outset (the ability to make sense of a client’s story, link past with present and hone in on where the difficulties and hence the focus of the work lie) the strength of the therapeutic relationship/alliance – key for any corrective emotional experience, and lastly, and perhaps most importantly with short term work, a continuous awareness of the ending.

Perhaps too often therapists fall back on an assumption that long term therapy is the most successful premise for a corrective emotional experience but if done well, significant benefit can be attained in even 12 weeks. Providing the intervention is appropriate for the presenting problem.

Part of our Ethos at The Therapy Clinic is to make therapy accessible to as many people as possible, short-term approaches can lighten the financial burden of therapy and increase accessibility, as well as being an effective intervention in its own right. Our work now is to weave this thinking more solidly in to our offerings for clients and more explicitly assess at the outset for the appropriateness of short term work so watch this space!”

Next up in the series of TTC Talks @1 is Kate West‘s introduction to working with couples, in June 2019.

TTC Talks @ 1 - Informal Lunchtime CPD Sessions Introducing Therapeutic Approaches & Promoting Cross Modality Conversations

Members of The Therapy Clinic enjoy the inaugural TTC Talks @ 1 session.

This is the first instalment of a series of monthly lunchtime CPD sessions, starting off with a run of sessions to introduce members to the diverse range of therapy models we offer at The Therapy Clinic.

Kate West, Associate, gives her account of the talk:

“As part of our ethos to think creatively about an individual therapeutic pathways, tailored to the specific needs of an individual seeking help, we actively foster cross modality conversations.

As part of the introduction to Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) Rachel Singh and Jacqui Paterson had us all holding, smelling, stroking and analysing lemons – one of the mindfulness techniques they teach on the DBT programme.

It’s fascinating what you notice about a lemon if you’re given two minutes quiet time to entirely focus on one! And, of course when you’re entirely focused, then there’s no room in the mind for thoughts of past or future that can trigger anxiety, just staying in the here and now is calming.

As well as being fully present in the moment, we learnt to drop judgement of ourselves and others, and be more focussed on our goals in any given situation, ensuring effectiveness. We learnt that radical acceptance is also key to a quieter mind, that once we accept we can then move on.”

Mindfulness is just one module of the 4 that make up DBT. We look forward to further introduction in due course on Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance,  and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

Next up in the series of TTC Talks @1 is Ellie Carn’s introduction to brief or short term psychotherapy in May 2019.

Who needs therapy?

Waiting area, psychotherapy and counselling clinic in hove

Most people could benefit from therapy, and you don't have to be in crisis.

It is a common misconception that therapy is the answer when we are in crisis or only for people with diagnosed mental health issues. It is certainly the case that therapy can be hugely beneficial at times like these.

Sometimes the signs that therapy could help might be less obvious. Perhaps you are not feeling like yourself; perhaps you have not been for a while. It could be that the things that usually help you cope are not as effective as they used to be or maybe you know your coping mechanisms are not that healthy. Maybe you’re struggling to be OK after losing someone. It could be that you are about to embark on a significant change or have a significant change happen to your world.

All of the above are reasons to seek therapy and give it a try.

Therapy does not have to be a commitment to high costs and years of analysis. Many people can find some improvement in a number of weeks or months, although more complex issues may require more intensive intervention. The Therapy Clinic offers a range of cost and time sensitive approaches.

Therapy does not ‘fix’ you, because you are not broken. What therapy can offer is insight into who we are and what we do, our patterns and our problems. The more we know, the more choice we have to make changes and live our best lives.

To see how therapy could benefit you, book an initial consultation today.

What is Cost-Sensitive Therapy?

Sofa at The therapy Clinic, Therapy Brighton, Therapy Hove

Cost-Sensitive Therapy – what does that mean?

The Therapy Clinic began in 2018 with Rose’s belief that we could offer something different for Psychotherapy and Counselling in Brighton and Hove. From the beginning, The Therapy Clinic has had a commitment to accessibility and affordability, without compromising on quality.

At The Therapy Clinic, we choose the term “cost-sensitive” rather than “low cost” when talking about therapy. This is because being on a limited budget should not mean getting a second rate service. What it does mean is that we provide the high quality of counselling, whilst taking account of people’s budgets.

We recognise that therapy is often not available to those who need it most. Cost is a factor in people finding therapy difficult to access. At The Therapy Clinic we have some low cost weekly therapy available from £20 per session.

To achieve this, the Therapy Clinic has a team of therapists working at different levels of qualification and experience. Every therapist who works at the clinic is here because of their abilities, and their shared commitment to our values. Counsellors with less experience are supervised by the Senior Associates. In addition to this, therapists with more experience also provide some reduced fee therapy, for those with more complex issues.

In addition to offering cost-sensitive counselling, we also see the value in innovative and evidenced based short-term therapy models. These shorter term approaches can also help make therapy available to people with limited budgets.

If you are considering therapy, get in touch or book online to come and discuss what we can offer to you.
