Are you struggling with a problem that makes you unhappy? We all have things that get in the way of our happiness, it’s a normal part of life. Maybe you have a problem that’s making you feel low, worried, or that keeps popping back up just when you thought you had it sorted. Everyone needs a bit of help at times to get back on track when they feel stuck, frustrated or just don’t know where to start. If something’s bothering you that you haven’t been able to fix on your own and you’re ready to squash the problem and get on with your life, I can help.
I’m Dr Clair Stockton, a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in offering brief therapies for everyday problems and bespoke treatments for more complicated problems. I am professional but informal, providing an honest, supportive space where change can happen. I work in a structured way using all my skills to find solutions for your problems.
Brief Therapy (1-8 sessions)
I can help with emotional or relationship difficulties, making big decisions, tackling tricky situations, or coping with big life changes. I help you uncover your strengths and resources, find opportunities for change and bring it all together in a plan that works for you. I typically work with people from a single session up to a course of eight sessions using therapies that tap into your natural resources and help you to make progress towards your goals quickly and effectively.
Bespoke Therapy (max 24 sessions)
If your difficulties are complex, long term, you’ve tried lots of things before or you struggle with trust we may need to spend some getting to know one another so that we can work out a plan that suits you. I recommend you commit to attending three sessions. This allows us time to see if we make a good team, complete a psychological assessment, and reach an understanding of the difficulties you face and how we might best approach them. From there we can discuss a treatment plan so you can decide if you want to continue our work together. All my therapies are contracted for a specific number of sessions so you will always know how long your therapy will last, what the costs will be and when your treatment will be completed. I believe this helps people to move forward and make the changes they hope for. Bespoke therapies usually last between 16-24 sessions.
