Talking therapies are aimed at helping people deal with emotional issues and the symptoms of mental illness that might have an impact on their work. The main purpose of the treatment involves a series of conversations between a qualified therapist and your employees.
Important: Please contact our workplace talking therapies team for further information on how we may be able to help.
The most effective talking therapies programmes are those that are tailored to the specific needs of your workforce . Our Talking Therapies team can create bespoke packages based on the requirements of your organisation.
Group talking therapies involves two or more patients being counselled at the same time. This is a popular approach for addiction issues, as it facilitates the support and empathy of fellow patients. However, some people feel uncomfortable sharing their innermost thoughts with strangers.
Whether for logistical reasons or a need to minimise anxiety, some sufferers prefer remote talking therapies sessions - either over the phone or via a video conferencing platform. If you struggle to find spare time for talking therapies or you want to try this type of talk therapy before committing in the long term, remote talking therapies is a very good option.
Opening up your innermost thoughts and feelings to a counsellor might feel intimidating at first. However, an experienced and highly qualified mental health therapist from iGP will do everything they can to put you at ease.
talking therapies is a journey that can take several months or years. And every journey begins with an initial consultation. You will be asked a series of questions, as your therapist will want to understand your symptoms and how they are affecting you. The information gathered at this early stage will be used to create a personalised care plan.
The early questions might include:
There will be a little housekeeping to get out of the way during your first session. For example, you might be asked to commit to a schedule of dates and times. Your therapist may also set out a few ground rules, including how the patient/counsellor relationship works and the basic principles of the confidentiality agreement you will enter into.
A good counsellor will be able to identify the signs of anxiety and distress, so try not to worry about getting upset - this is part of the process. Also part of the process is asking questions, so don't be afraid to stop the conversation to do so.
Be as honest and open as you can about your feelings. The more information you share, the more you will get from your sessions.
How well you respond to talking therapies depends on a range of factors, such as the condition you are suffering from and its severity. But the success of your mental health therapy also depends on how open you are to the process. Give everything, and you are more likely to reap the benefits.
