What does treatment involve?
During the initial session Dr Moore conducts a thorough assessment to gain a detailed understanding of your concerns and difficulties, as well as your goals and expectations. A flexible treatment plan is then developed to meet your specific needs, preferences and circumstances.
Dr Moore utilises a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.
Within a warm, relaxed, non-judgemental environment, Dr Moore provides guidance and support to assist you to:
-
Develop new insights into the nature and origins of your current difficulties
-
Identify and challenge the behaviours, thoughts and beliefs that are creating distress
-
Discover ways of thinking and behaving that enhance well-being and allow you to achieve your full potential
-
Develop effective coping strategies that support you in managing difficult emotions and life stress
-
Explore interactional styles associated with your current difficulties, and develop more satisfying interpersonal relationships
-
Develop increased self-understanding and gain new insights into your personal strengths and values
How long does treatment last?
Generally, people find it useful to attend six to fifteen sessions, although some may need more or less time. Immediate, short-term interventions are available, as well as longer-term, ongoing therapy for more complex issues.
For some people, it is safe and appropriate to conclude treatment at the point of symptom relief or when specific goals or tasks are reached, for others, it is helpful and important to understand the roots of their difficulties and change patterns that maintain ongoing issues.
While Dr Moore will provide guidance regarding time frames, ultimately the number and frequency of appointments is completely up to you, and you are encouraged to raise and regularly review this with Dr Moore.
