‘We don’t see things the way they are; we see things the way we are’
– Anais Nin
Our society is changing; it is learning to better understand that anyone can experience emotional and mental health difficulties, just as anyone can have physical health difficulties. This is a good thing. It is a good thing, because it is true.
We can offer a range of psychological treatments for a wide range of issues, and use evidence-based models to underpin this treatment.
At The West Dorset Practice, 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 only and subsequently the service delivers a high standard of treatment, with you at the centre.
Therapy is not something that is done to you, it is done with you.
It can be hard, it may feel frightening and we completely understand this. We will work at your pace whilst encouraging you to move forward through any difficult feelings.
Our aim is to work with you to enable you in becoming your own therapist; learning skills and tools that you can use after our work together has ended.
The West Dorset Practice is run from a comfortable clinic suite in the centre of Dorchester.
We work with children, adolescents, and adults.
If you would like to contact us, we can then discuss your goals, and the treatment we can offer.
We can then arrange an appointment to begin treatment at your request.
Once we’ve agreed a date and time to begin therapy, we will invite you to our treatment centre in Poundbury.
It’s a comfortable suite, with spacious therapy rooms, tea and coffee facilities and toilets.
