Overview

Therapy
WPF offer a range of therapy options, both individual and group sessions.  These can be weekly or more frequent.  They can be a set number of sessions or open ended.  The best options for you will be discussed during your initial consultation.
They believe that a consultation at the outset enables them to make the right recommendation for therapy. The initial consultation is a 90 minute session during which a trained therapist will invite you to talk about your concerns and ask you some questions to understand what is troubling you.  This confidential conversation will enable the therapist to discuss with you the way your problems are affecting you and suggest ways forward: whether talking therapy is best suited to your needs and, if so, what kind of therapy is likely to be most helpful.
If their conclusion is that talking therapy is not suitable for you, they will let you know and will make a recommendation of what is best suited for your specific needs.

After the consultation they will write to you within 10 days with their recommendations, and aim to start your therapy as soon as possible. If they are not able to provide you with help they will suggest alternative support.
