How therapy works at the practice
Counselling and psychotherapy sit alongside our medical services, allowing us to address mental and physical health together where they overlap. A patient seeing the GP for sleep, fatigue, or unexplained physical symptoms may find that talking therapy is the most useful next step — and the warm hand-off between doctor and therapist removes the friction of starting over elsewhere.
We work with our therapist on a continuity model: the same person throughout, weekly at the same time, in person at the clinic or by secure video. Most concerns we see fall into a few broad categories, but we treat the full range — including matters that do not fit neatly into any one category.
What people come to therapy for
Therapy at the practice supports patients with:
- Anxiety, depression, and persistent low mood
- Stress, burnout, and difficulty coping
- Trauma and PTSD, both recent and historical
- Bereavement, grief, and loss
- Relationship and family difficulties (couples and family sessions available)
- Addictions and eating-related concerns
- Confidence, assertiveness, and work-related issues
- Parenting and life-stage transitions
If you are not sure whether therapy is the right next step, the free fifteen-minute consultation is the easiest way to find out without commitment.
Who is the therapist?
Our systemic therapist is Ayesha Aslam, an accredited psychotherapist and marital/systemic therapist with over sixteen years of experience. She holds an MSc, MBACP (Accredited), UKCP-Registered, PGDip, and BSc(Hons), and works with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
How is therapy different from medication?
Many people benefit from a combination. Where medication can manage symptoms in the short term, therapy works on the underlying patterns — relationships, beliefs, coping strategies — that shape long-term wellbeing. Where appropriate, your GP and therapist will work alongside each other.
How long will I need therapy for?
It depends on your goals. Short-term therapy of around three months targets a specific issue. Longer-term work over six to twelve months supports deeper change. Many clients extend therapy beyond an initial timeframe as new concerns surface; others stop after a few sessions feeling clearer. We discuss the likely arc at your initial appointment.
What if I do not know what I want from therapy?
That is a good reason to come. Many people seek therapy precisely because they lack clarity. Taking the step to book an initial appointment is significant in itself — you do not need a defined goal.
Is what I share confidential?
Therapy provides a confidential space and everything discussed remains private. The only exceptions are where your therapist judges there is a serious risk to your safety or someone else's, in which case other professionals (such as your GP) may need to be involved. Your therapist will discuss this with you wherever possible.
What if I miss a session?
Your therapist sets aside a dedicated weekly time slot for you. Missed or cancelled sessions (with less than one week's notice) are payable in full, as that time cannot easily be reallocated. Weekly attendance is important for therapy to progress.
Do you offer face-to-face sessions?
Yes. Both online and in-person sessions at the clinic are available. Mention your preference when you book — for couples and family work, in-person is often preferable.
