E-mail Counselling E-mail counselling is ideal for those who travel a great deal, are housebound or not ready for face-to-face counselling. As with e-mail counselling, confidentiality and data protection are observed, as is the need to remain up-to-date with training and supervision of counselling practice. To access e-mail counselling, you will need to complete a short questionnaire and pre-pay for your first session(s). You can send up to two e-mails a week which will normally be answered within five days. This timescale is suggested to allow for a spell of reflection and change, so that you get the most out of each exchange. For more information: info@catecampbell.bacp.co.uk |
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is concerned with the here and now, looking at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour affect one another. Unhelpful thinking can lead to negative feelings and behaviour which feed the negative thinking. Interrupting this process can give back feelings of control, adequacy and self-esteem
Systemic Counselling is also about making a difference to the way we live by lookingat how individuals behave within groups or “systems”, such as families or couples. It is particularly helpful when people are troubled by cycles of arguing and feel they don’t know what to do or where to turn. Systemic counselling can help by offering different ways of looking at problems so that you develop the means to master them.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy concentrates on identifying what people want to achieve in counselling, helping them to make lasting change by recognising and drawing on their own resources.
Psychodynamic Counselling takes into account how previous experience may have affected an individual. Some people think that “psycho”- anything means someone will be probing their mind and trying to catch them out – in fact, it often works in the opposite way, giving people an insight into why they feel the way they do and what will help with that. This is especially helpful for people who have a tendency to blame themselves or others.
