What are talking therapies?
Talking to a skilled professional helps you to make sense of emotional distress and resolve complicated feelings or find ways to live with them. It can also help you to recognise unhelpful patterns in the way you think and act and find ways to change them.
Our team of therapists are trained in many different forms of talking therapies and may incorporate elements across a range of knowledge and skills to support you on your wellness journey. They offer in person, telephone and online therapy sessions. During therapy sessions, the therapist will listen to you without judging you and help you find your own way through your challenges. The therapy space is a safe space for you to talk, cry, shout or think and is a place where you can look at your problems in different ways with someone who respects you.
Our talking therapies come with the assurance that the practitioner you will be working with has been approved and vetted by us to deliver a high quality service. Doncaster Mind is an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Therapy for individuals
Life events (present, past and future), relationship problems, difficult feelings like anger and low self-esteem and long term health conditions can all lead to challenges to our mental wellness which can be faced and improved by working with a trained therapist. Talking therapy for individuals means just you and your therapist are working together. Sessions last for between 50 to 60 minutes and are usually on the same day at the same time. Individual talking therapy costs £45 per session and a standard programme lasts for between 6 - 8 sessions.
Therapy for couples
All close relationships have their ups and downs. There are so many pressures on our lives and on our time the secure, happy and connected feelings in a relationships can be challenged by. The aim of working with a therapist is not to point the finger of blame but to listen differently to each other and learn to communicate more effectively in a safe, respectful space with your therapist. Sessions last for between 50 - 60 minutes and are usually on the same day at the same time. Couples talking therapy costs £45 per session and a standard programme lasts for between 6 - 8 sessions.
Therapy for families
Families can be complicated because everyone is unique. Each person thinks and talks about things in a different way, and each person has different ideas, feelings, worries and strengths. All kinds of changes can make family life more stressful - some families find their own way through these challenges, and some families benefit from therapeutic support to find the solutions that work best for them. Sessions last between 50 - 60 minutes and are usually on the same day at the same time. Family therapy costs £60 per session and a standard programme last for between 6 - 8 sessions.
