    • Relationship difficulties

    • Trauma and difficult experiences

You do not need to be in crisis or have a formal diagnosis to begin therapy.

Therapeutic approaches

  • Examines how thoughts, emotions, behaviours, physical responses and circumstances interact, helping you identify and change patterns that may be maintaining distress.

  • Supports you to develop psychological flexibility: responding more openly and effectively to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action guided by your values.

  • Develops capacities for compassion and self-soothing, particularly where shame and self-criticism are prominent, helping you respond to distress with greater understanding and care.

  • Explores how problems become connected to stories about yourself and your life, creating space for alternative meanings and preferred ways of understanding identity, relationships and experience. It attends to wider social and cultural contexts.

  • Focuses on the outcomes you want to achieve, drawing on your strengths, resources and previous successes to identify practical steps towards change.

Our clinical psychologists draw on a range of established therapeutic approaches. The approach used is selected through assessment and psychological formulation, taking account of your needs, goals, preferences and wider context. It is reviewed and adapted as therapy progresses. Alongside the methods used, we attend carefully to the quality of the therapeutic relationship and the personal, relational and cultural contexts shaping your experience

Adult therapy at REST is provided by HCPC-registered clinical psychologists.

“

I was hesitant about therapy at first, especially with my busy life and cultural background. I felt some shame and wasn't sure I could commit. But with REST's online therapy, I could access support on my own terms and at my own pace. The flexibility and care I received made it easy to embrace therapy, and the impact has been significant.

MOMENTS OF CLARITY

Questions about adult therapy

How do I know whether therapy may be right for me?
Therapy may be helpful when emotional, relational or psychological difficulties persist, recur or affect your wellbeing, relationships, work or daily life. An initial assessment can help determine whether it is an appropriate next step.
What happens during the initial assessment?
During this session, your psychologist will explore your current concerns, relevant experiences, strengths, goals and wider context. Together, you will begin developing a shared understanding and consider the most appropriate focus and approach.
Can I benefit from therapy without a formal diagnosis?
Yes. You do not need a formal diagnosis to access therapy. It can support you with distress, recurring patterns, relationship difficulties, significant life changes or a wish to understand yourself more fully.
How frequently will sessions take place?
Sessions are often held weekly to support continuity. Frequency is agreed with your psychologist according to your needs and reviewed as therapy progresses.
How long might therapy continue?
Therapy may be brief and focused or continue over a longer period. Its duration depends on your needs, hopes, goals and how the work develops, and will be discussed and reviewed with you.
Are online therapy sessions confidential?
Yes. Sessions and clinical information are managed in accordance with professional, ethical and data-protection requirements. Your psychologist will explain the limited circumstances in which information may need to be shared, including serious safety concerns or legal requirements.
What is the difference between a Pulse Session and ongoing therapy?
A Pulse Session is a focused, self-contained consultation for people who want professional perspective without beginning ongoing therapy. Ongoing therapy involves a continuing therapeutic relationship and is suited to persistent or recurring difficulties that benefit from sustained work over time.
Do you accept private health insurance?
Yes. We currently accept WPA insurance for eligible clients and are registering with additional providers. Please contact WPA before booking to confirm your cover and obtain any required authorisation.
