Long-Term Psychotherapy
What is Long-Term Psychotherapy?
Long-term psychotherapy is a deeply supportive process designed to address enduring difficulties, unresolved wounds, and complex trauma. Unlike brief interventions, long-term psychotherapy allows you the space and time to explore your experiences in depth, working steadily towards greater emotional wellbeing and lasting transformation. Whether you are facing chronic illness, ongoing anxiety, or significant life transitions, long-term psychotherapy offers an opportunity to resolve root causes and cultivate resilience.
Issues Addressed in Long-Term Psychotherapy
Trauma: Including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and developmental trauma
Chronic Illness: Support for conditions not responding to medical interventions, including ME / CFS, autoimmune conditions, and cancer
Mood Disorders: Persistent anxiety, depression, and low mood
Relationship Issues: Sexuality, LGBTQI+ concerns, divorce, and relational conflict
Eating Disorders: Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder (BED)
Bereavement & Major Life Changes: Navigating grief, loss, and significant transitions
Transpersonal Issues: Spiritual counselling, existential concerns, searching for meaning
Transgenerational Trauma: Understanding and healing inherited patterns
Many clients seek long-term psychotherapy because they desire lasting healing from deep-seated issues or hope for “something more from life than this”. Whatever your situation, you are welcome to get in touch.
What Does a Session Look Like?
My approach is holistic, combining talking therapy with practical techniques to address both the mind and body.
Whether we meet in person or online, sessions are designed to be safe and supportive and will be uniquely tailored to you. We will begin by exploring your concerns and history, gently following the emotional charge to uncover core patterns. As the conversation deepens, and if it feels right for you, I may introduce embodied interventions, such as tapping, holding memory centres on the body, or working with intentional phrases, to help process underlying trauma and shift entrenched beliefs.
In time, I will help you to develop internal resources, including an internalised safe space, supporting you to feel secure and empowered.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds and am happy to answer any questions you may have. To learn more or book an initial consultation, please get in touch.
Why Choose Me?
I am trained in progressive and emerging methods, including energy psychotherapy and trauma-informed interventions. My experience allows me to draw on a wide range of frameworks, ensuring that each client receives bespoke support. You are free to compare my approach on BACP, Counselling Directory, and AIT UK Europe.
How Is Long-Term Psychotherapy Different?
Long-term psychotherapy focuses on sustainable change, enabling you to make connections between past experiences, present challenges, and future aspirations. The process is dynamic, sometimes incorporating energy psychotherapy modalities to support emotional release and recovery. You won’t be left feeling lost; together, we work steadily towards clarity and healing, using a blend of approaches adapted to your needs.
This therapy is especially suitable for those who have not found relief from conventional approaches, or who want to work through complex, multi-layered issues that require time and trust.
