How talking therapy can help

We all face difficulties in life. It might be bereavement, stress, burnout, or a period of depression. At these times, it can help to talk to a counsellor or a psychologist.

Our expertise is in providing support to global workers such as those working with mission and aid agencies, and those serving in ministry, however our talking therapies are open to anyone, regardless of background.

Difficulties we can help with include anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, bereavement, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties.

How do I book an appointment?

Contact us by contact form, phone or email to request an appointment (the link below will take you to our contact page).
When you contact us to arrange an appointment we will ask you to complete a pre-appointment form to help us allocate you to the type of therapy that may best address your needs.
During your initial session, your therapist will ask you more about yourself, your past experiences and the difficulties you would like help with. Together, you will decide whether this is the right therapy for you *
Once you are matched with a practitioner, we suggest that you arrange six sessions. You may feel that you need more or less than the recommended six, however this is completely up to you as the client.
The last appointment will include a review of progress, in which you and your therapist can decide if you need any further sessions.

All therapy sessions are for one hour and usually on a regular basis, via Zoom, WhatsApp or telephone.

* Time with a psychologist is charged at a higher rate than time with a counsellor.

How should I prepare for a remote counselling session?

Client Case Study
Anna* got in touch, asking for help with long-standing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that was impacting her life and functioning. After a first session, where we scoped out the problems, we embarked on a course of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) tailored to OCD. At first, we spoke weekly; this helped Anna to make quick, early changes that brought some stability.
CBT emphasises tasks that the client undertakes between sessions. Anna worked hard at these and it was not always easy. However, she kept going and after about eight sessions began to see a significant improvement in her symptoms. As she recovered, sessions were spaced further apart. Most of these took the form of talking about areas in which she had got stuck in applying the strategies learned. Anna is now doing really well. She recently wrote in an email, “Your help has changed my life.”
