Individual Therapy

Here at Flourish we offer 1:1 psychological (or talking therapy) to adults, either face to face from our clinic just outside of Newark-on-Trent, or alternatively via telephone, or using an online platform such as Zoom.

If online or telephone sessions feel a bit daunting, that’s completely normal. Many people are surprised by how natural and supportive they feel once they get started. Remote therapy is a flexible way to look after your mental health when coming in person isn’t possible, whether you’re away on holiday, travelling for work, or need something that fits around a busy schedule. It also means you’re not limited to therapists in your local area, giving you more choice in who you work with and when. This can be especially helpful if you work shifts or need appointments outside typical hours.

If you’re ready to explore support that fits around your life, you can reach out to arrange a session or ask any questions you may have.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)

Interpersonal Psychotherapy or Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) was developed to address depression, but over time its application has broadened. One of the main tenets of IPT is that regardless of the trigger or cause of depression, such problems develop in a social context and therefore understanding the influence of interpersonal relationships is seen as key to making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is perhaps one of the most well-known and well-researched of the psychological treatments. It can help with many difficulties, including depression, anxiety, panic, stress, phobias, obsessive thoughts and behaviours, and feeling overwhelmed or “stuck.”
