Initial Introductory Consultation 

If you are interested in one-to-one therapy at The Cedar Therapy Clinic, the first step is to have a brief telephone conversation. We offer introductory consultations for up to 15 minutes. This is an opportunity to provide a brief explanation of the difficulties you are experiencing and the help you are seeking. We can then carefully consider treatment options and discuss our recommendations for the next steps. You will also have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

 

 

Psychological Assessment 

The next step to access one-to-one therapy is to schedule a psychological assessment. The aim of our assessments is to firstly understand your current difficulties and to learn more about you as a person. We aim to understand the onset of the problem, which factors may have contributed to the development or worsening of your difficulties and what you would like to change. We will also use your assessment to carefully agree therapeutic goals, which we will work towards throughout your therapy sessions. Our assessment appointments usually last between 60-90 minutes. 

​

​

Therapy Sessions

Following your assessment, we will recommend a certain number of sessions (e.g. 8-12 sessions), with the opportunity to extend if this is clinically appropriate. Therapy sessions are delivered online via a video platform. We use; Zoom, Skype and Microsoft Teams. 

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes in duration and are usually delivered weekly.
