The fee for a therapy session at Thrive is £60 per 50 minute session. We operate a sliding scale if you are in receipt of means tested benefits such as Universal Credit. Please get in touch with evidence of this and we can reduce the rate to remove barriers to accessing therapy.
I hold a BSc in Sport & Exercise Science and have worked with goal setting and improving performance with individual, recreational and team national level athletes as well as those pursuing fitness goals. This also helps with promoting constructive and beneficial behaviours. I also have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling & Groupwork - a Cognitive Behavioural approach (Pg Dip). In addition I have Open University modules in Social Work and Children, Young People and Families.
I have considerable experience of working within trade union environments and negotiating and representation. I understand the importance of feeling connected to others and feeling listened to.
The duration of therapy sessions at Thrive is typically 50 minutes for individual therapy. I recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to allow time to develop competence in the skills and reflect on the process of therapy. This would be reviewed regularly in collaboration with yourself.
Sessions can be conducted via remote platforms such as Microsoft Teams or in person at the Wellbeing Rooms, Stepps or The Therapy Suite, Motherwell. The address and directions are on the home page near the bottom.
