What does the treatment involve?
The treatment starts out with me finding out about you and the difficulties you are experiencing. More often than not, right from the first session we will also begin using relaxation methods, together with a wide range of other techniques. These exercises work to activate your own natural resources and are key to providing you with immediate relief from psychological and emotional distress.
We will also work out some achievable and realistic goals to focus on, starting with small manageable steps and continuing at a pace which suits you. We will work together to set goals that are clear and meaningful to you.
From here on we activate your natural resources to help you to feel better and take back control of your life. At each session we check out what effects the treatment is having for you and, if necessary, work through any unanticipated difficulties. Treatment ends when you're happy that you've made enough progress to continue living a healthy life without regular assistance from me. (Human Givens therapists do not encourage people to become dependent on therapy).
How long will it take?
Everyone's situation is different, but I aim to take as few sessions as possible and you can fully expect improvements to begin from the first session. People rarely need more than six sessions to make significant progress and lasting improvements, often as few as three or four are necessary.
What does it cost?
The first assessment costs £90 and then because the length of subsequent sessions can vary, depending on the work we do, I charge my time out at an hourly rate of £60. In other words, up to 45 minutes costs £45, up to 60 minutes costs £60, etc. Payment can be made in cash or by cheque only, I do not have credit card facilities.
How do I make an appointment?
Call Jonathan on 029 2070 5957 to make an appointment or to discuss your situation in complete confidence. If you prefer you can complete the form on the Contact Me page to make contact by e-mail.
From Stress to Success takes referrals directly from the public (self-referrals), from GPs and other healthcare professionals (such as physiotherapists and osteopaths) and from corporate clients (businesses and other organisations who want to help their employees).
The success of the practice is testimony to the number of people who have benefitted from treatment and have subsequently recommended Jonathan and From Stress to Success to family members, friends and colleagues.
