Psychology Services
Initial assessment session:
All new referrals require an initial assessment session. An initial assessment session is conducted over 90 minutes. The initial assessment session allows you to meet with Catherine to talk about your therapy goals and discuss a therapy plan which might involve short term therapy, longer term therapy, or a combination of both.
Short term therapy:
TRTP targets specific psychological symptoms and is generally conducted across 3 consecutive weeks. You will meet with Catherine on two consecutive days within the 3 weeks. Therapy sessions will vary in length between 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Altogether the therapy takes around 8 - 9 hours. There two further sessions scheduled one-month and three-month after completion of TRTP. These follow-up sessions track your progress and ensure you are continuing to meet your treatment goals and are continuing to thrive.
*Please note extra sessions may be required depending on your circumstances. This only becomes apparent across the course of therapy and will be discussed with you as you proceed. Additional sessions will be invoiced at the hourly rate.
Longer term counselling:
Longer term therapy targets specific skills and/or assists you to cope with current stressful circumstances. Catherine uses a range of therapy modalities including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal Processing Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The frequency of sessions will be scheduled according to your current need and your treatment goals.
