1:1 Psychological Therapy
About Therapy
Therapy sessions have the potential to be life changing, providing you with the space for your journey inward, to empower you to untangle from life’s toxicities and challenges, and reconnect and rediscover yourself.
All therapy sessions are conducted within a warm, safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship, within professional boundaries and adhering to the code of professional ethics.
Dr Stephanie Minchin is a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC), with over 10 years experience of working in mental health settings with people of all ages across the lifespan, from a diverse range of socio-cultural and economical backgrounds.
What is Psychological Therapy?
Psychological therapy offers a range of evidence-based talking therapies. The process of psychological therapy involves an assessment exploring one’s life story, the current difficulties and their contexts, making sense of the difficulties together, identifying what you would like help and support with, defining individualised goals for the therapy, and applying specialist therapeutic interventions to help transform, heal and make change, with regular review and evaluation of progress.
Who I work with
People I work with have sought psychological therapy for emotional and behavioural difficulties, attachment & relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, eating difficulties, issues related to gender identity & sexuality, alcohol and substance misuse, self-harm, underlying neurodevelopmental difficulties (ASD, ADHD), parenting, and coping with physical health conditions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is the recommended treatment intervention for anxiety, depression and panic. CBT is a skill-based approach which helps you to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and challenge the patterns and cycles through active changes.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy examines the life stories we live by and creates a re-authoring from problem-saturated narratives to ones of hope and resilience in a strengths-focused approach.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT integrates elements of cognitive therapies and mindfulness, supporting present moment awareness, detachment from unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, radical acceptance, emotional flexibility and identification of core positive personal values.
Systemic Therapy (Family Therapy; Couples Therapy)
Systemic therapy explores and maps the relationships between individuals to better understand the difficulties existing between them in order to move towards positive change together.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
CFT has foundations in CBT, Evolutionary Psychology and contemplative Eastern approaches. Through practices of guided breathing, visualisations and meditations, as well as re-shaping thought patterns and behaviours, CFT enhances self-soothing and compassion-based skills.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT has influences from various cognitive therapies, using a skill-based approach and mindfulness-based strategies to build emotional resilience, cognitive flexibility, distress tolerance and improve interpersonal relationships.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy seeks to understand the inner psyche by exploring the unconscious mind and inner world, developed and influenced by early childhood experiences, attachment patterns ad relational ways of being.
