What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy helps people to understand and change patterns of thinking feeling and behaving that cause distress in their lives. It can be beneficial for anyone wanting to make some changes in their lives and relationships, whether or not you have a recognised mental health condition.
Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and relevant events, sometimes from childhood and personal history, in a structured way with someone trained to help you do it safely.
Safe, accredited psychotherapy
Psychotherapists working with SPP are either accredited members of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) or trainees working towards accreditation. UKCP is the leading organisation for psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors in the UK, and regulates the profession whilst promoting access to psychotherapy for all. THE UKCP register of therapists is also accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. https://www.psychotherapy.org.uk/about-ukcp/

What is our approach to psychotherapy?
Psychotherapists working with SPP each have their own style whilst also sharing common values;
Relationships with others is the central dynamic in human growth and development and the psychotherapeutic relationship is key to explore what it means to be in relationship with others.
Human beings make meaning, including meaning about themselves and others, within a world of different types of relationships.
A therapeutic relationship can be transformational; meaning and knowledge may be reworked within relationships.
A person's subjective experience is their 'truth' and psychotherapy must honour the client's perspective
Life is in continuous change and flux and we need to be able to adapt and change to make the most of our experience of being alive
Our patterns of relating to ourselves and others are determined by our past relationships so exploring these are key to creating change and a better future.
