The Arbours offers a Psychotherapy Service staffed by a team of experienced psychotherapists, each registered with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy. The aim of the service is to assist individuals, couples or families in emotional distress in determining the type of help that would be most appropriate for their particular needs, and thereafter making the referral if needed. All aspects of the clients emotional needs are discussed as well as their suitability for psychotherapy. The most helpful course of action is then decided upon:

1. No further intervention other than a consultation at a later date if needed.

2. Individual long-term psychotherapy

3. Brief psychotherapy

4. Group, family or couple therapy

5. Residency in one of the Arbours therapeutic communities or the Crisis Centre

6. Referrals to another agency.

Brief Therapy

Skilled and focused interventions can often help people to understand their problems more fully, or to become less anxious and to therefore be more in control of their lives. Importantly, such interventions can have the added benefit of helping men and women going through a critical time to avoid long-term help or hospitalisation.

The scheme, staffed by experienced psychotherapists, offers therapy of up to twelve sessions to selected clients.

Low Cost Therapy

Low cost therapy is offered by mature trainee Arbours psychotherapists on the Arbours Training. All trainee psychotherapists are individually supervised by an experienced psychotherapist and participate in weekly group supervision.
