Frequently asked questions

How long is a session?

The initial consultation is 90 minutes. Subsequent CBT sessions is 60 minutes in duration, EMDR sessions are between 60-90 minutes per session.

How often do I need to come to therapy?

Initially, weekly sessions are recommended until your symptoms start to improve. Once you start feeling an improvement, subsequent sessions can start to be extended. When you feel ready to end therapy, we can plan some follow-up appointments to help you maintain the progress you have made.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions you will need will be tailored to you and your particular reasons for seeking treatment.

The focus of the CBT process is to help you get to a point when you are confident and continue improving and making changes on your own. This generally starts to happen after 6 to 8 sessions or depending on the complexity of your problem.

It's difficult to determine the amount of EMDR sessions you will need as this depends on your presenting/past experiences. 

How will the sessions be conducted?

The sessions will be conducted either through Zoom or in person in my clinic in Chippenham.

Why will homework be set at each session?

CBT is like learning a new skill, it takes repetition and practice. Therefore, the ongoing work between sessions will help you to integrate the work we do in each the session.

I often given the example of when you are learning something new, it takes time, repetition, and lots of practice. The more focussed and motivated you are on wanting change, the less sessions you will need.

Is CBT/EMDR the right therapy for me?

Generally speaking, CBT/EMDR is very beneficial for  people who have become stuck with an issue or a problem that they have had for some time but struggle to resolve on their own (for example anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, anger issues, to name a few).
