Stephanie Riddle
Integrative Psychotherapist
Steph Riddle Therapy
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I offer a confidential, open-minded, non-judgmental style of working which respects the ideas, knowledge and wisdom which clients bring into therapy. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist which means that I am trained in, and can apply, different theoretical approaches. My psychotherapy practice is mainly based on humanistic and psychodynamic principles, although I also use ideas from the cognitive, behavioural and transpersonal therapies.
The therapy I offer involves a 50-minute session at a regular time each week. The length of therapy is agreed on an individual basis, depending on the needs of the client and what they want from the therapy.
I work with people age 18 and upwards. I hold an anti-discriminatory ethos and welcome requests for therapy regardless of factors such as ethnic origin, nationality, or sexual orientation.
Booking an Appointment:
If you would like to book an appointment, please contact me with a few sentences telling me about the problem or problems you would like help with. I will usually reply to your email within 24 hours. If I am available to work with you, I will usually offer you an appointment within the next 10 days. I will send you a short form to fill in with some basic information such as your contact details.
What happens in a first session?
In our first session of therapy there will be three areas of focus. Firstly, I will begin to explore with you your reasons for seeking therapy at this time. Secondly, I will ask you for some background information about yourself, for example your family, your health, and whether you have had counselling or therapy before. Thirdly, you will have the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have about the therapy and to express any hopes or fears about what the therapy will be like.
The first session will be charged at my usual rate of £40, or £35 if you are eligible for a concessionary rate.
