Carey Dent Counselling Psychotherapy Camden NW3

Why Choose Counselling Or Psychotherapy?
Are you unhappy, without really knowing why? Are you struggling with something specific?  Do you want to make changes, but feel unable to do so? It can be really valuable to talk to someone new about whatever upsets or worries you.
 
You may be dealing with one issue, or you may feel stuck in many areas of your life. I aim to understand your view of yourself and your relationships with others and the wider world, so that we can work together to make sense of your difficulties.
 
By talking about, and understanding, what motivates you or what keeps you trapped, you may begin to find ways of living that bring greater satisfaction.


What To Expect
In our first fifty minute session, I will encourage you to talk about what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together.  I will ask you for some background information to your situation. You may also wish to find out about my background in therapy.
 
This session will provide us both with the opportunity to decide whether we think it appropriate to carry on working together.  We may conclude that you need some other form of help, and I will be happy to assist you in finding such help. Alternatively we may agree to meet for a certain number of sessions, at the end of which we will discuss progress and what further action might be of value. We may also agree at the end of the first session to carry on working together without deciding on a time-limit.
 

My Practice
I am UKCP-registered psychotherapist'(United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy)and a member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I abide by these organisations' Codes of Ethics and Practice.

I provide one-to-one short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy.

I work from a quiet, comfortable room where you may speak openly, but confidentially, about whatever is on your mind.

I have worked for over ten years in different settings: in private practice, with students at universities, in womens centres and with refugees. I work part-time at the Medical Foundation for the care of Victims of Torture.

My training is integrative, which means I have been influenced and inspired by a number of schools of therapy: existential, psychodynamic and humanistic.  I have also trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).  Each method helps in a different way, so I continue to explore some of these many approaches.


Fees
I charge £50.00 per session. However, depending on my availability, I may be willing to negotiate a lower fee if you cannot afford the full one.
