Low Intensity Therapeutic Support

Therapeutic Services Update: Low Intensity Therapeutic Support

Counselling and therapies would normally be provided in intensive weekly appointments, over a period of weeks and months. This is a very effective way of treating the significant psychological and emotional ailments we can often experience.

However, two things have become more evident over recent years

1. Individuals complete a course of treatment and want to experience their new found self on their own. However, they feel that occasional contact with a therapist would help with the transition.
2. ‘High functioning’ individuals who don’t usually experience significant psychological or emotional impairment, are experiencing greater pressures. They become aware of an increase in stress, anxiety, and/or low mood. Intensive treatment may not be needed, but some support is wanted.
