WHAT TO EXPECT

If you’ve had an initial consultation with us (usually by phone) and have booked a series of therapy sessions, here’s what you can expect…

 

Firstly (and most importantly), our aim is to listen; to hear your story in your words.

We will then use our skills, experience and understanding to help piece the puzzle together so that you have a framework within which to increase your self-understanding. Together with you, we will then think about your goals, and identify ways to help you reach these goals.

Our team of highly trained therapists offer evidence-based therapies alongside comprehensive assessments of a range of psychological and neurological difficulties. Subsequently the service delivers a high standard of treatment, with you at the centre.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARRIVE?

​The West Dorset Practice is run from a comfortable clinic suite in Poundbury.

If we have agreed that the best way forward is a series of one-to-one sessions (or that combined with other techniques), we will invite you attend our clinic.

We are located in on the ground floor of Armitage House, on Victor Jackson Avenue and have a very comfortable suite there.

There is a free car park onsite and plenty of on-road parking around our building, if preferred or required.

Our clinic suite is fully wheelchair accessible.

Please contact us if you need advice regarding parking or accessibility.

For our exact location (for satnavs or gaining directions) please see our Google Maps listing.
Our postcode is DT1 3GY and we’re in Armitage House, Victor Jackson Avenue.

When you arrive, you will be given a glass of water as standard. If you’d like a hot drink, tea or coffee, we can provide this too. Above all, we want you to be as relaxed as possible…

Face to face sessions allows for a collaborative and connected therapeutic relationship to be formed, which can be integral in therapy.

The best thing about our clinic is that it’s quiet and peaceful. This gives a great start!
