More about psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a way of helping people address areas of personal difficulty. It is a specialist approach and pays particular attention to confidentiality, privacy and personal dignity.

Psychotherapy can offer help with a wide range of problems encountered in both personal and professional life including difficulties with relationships, coping with loss, trauma or with the effects of childhood abuse, dealing with depression, anxiety or feelings of despair or unhappiness. In psychotherapy it is recognised that many of these difficulties will have their roots in past experiences. They can be addressed with a range of long and short term therapies of varying intensity, all of which are offered by therapists at Hampden House as well as brief therapy that focuses on a particular problem.

Many clients refer themselves directly to Hampden House Psychotherapy Centre, Manchester, either through our website http://www.hampdenhouse.co.uk or via personal recommendation. Referrals are also often received at Hampden House from GPs and psychiatrists, reflecting the confidence medical practitioners feel in the service offered by Hampden House Psychotherapy Centre.

Whatever the nature of their difficulty, each person coming to Hampden House Psychotherapy Centre, Manchester is treated as a unique individual.

Therapies are designed to match each person's needs and requirements and the length of therapy can vary accordingly. Some clients might wish to see a woman or man and this choice is always respected. Where someone has specifically requested a particular therapist or mode of therapy this is taken into account.

During the initial assessment consultation, the process adopted at Hampden House is to discuss the treatment options with the individual and to think together about issues such as length of therapy, time constraints, fees and so on.
