The Skype experience
Embracing Skype in treatment contexts both nationally and internationally as an effective medium for clinical Practice.
An adequate computer and broadband connection are required and we negotiate times in respect of time zones on a case by case basis. A scanner-printer is desireable.
Angela has availability for this service Tuesdays while Les's availability excludes Tuesdays.
We have trialled this service with Couple Therapy and have also found it to be effective in this context.
If you are not experienced with the Skype mode of interaction then give us a call to discuss suitability or to discuss the reasons that Skype may be a preferred or necessary option.
Anger Management Programme
An Assessment session precedes a six session, one to one, programme addressing the many dimensions and implications of anger. Impacts in relationships and exposure to children are alongside education addressing triggers and patterns of behaviour.
You may be referred to this Programme via Police-Court processes or you may choose it to address the issues you or your family have identified. It is not a Group Programme. We address anger or violence from either gender and also address contexts where a couple have established a mutual conflict based relationship.
