Affordable Counselling and Psychotherapy:
We know that cost is still one of the main deterrents which stop people from accessing counselling/psychotherapy. HDC aims to offer affordable counselling as an option for people who feel they would benefit from therapy, but are not able to afford one-to-one sessions.
An effective way of doing this is via Group Therapy. This can happen by grouping people who, after an initial assessment session, are considered suitable for working with one another.
Some groups are designed to work on a specific type of issue (depression, obesity, anxiety attacks, addiction, etc) whilst other groups have as a focus more general issues (such as how to develop a way of dealing with life, lack of self-esteem, loss, etc)
Sharing our problems with others might sound intimidating at first, but group therapy provides some benefits that individual therapy does not.
I also have a number of 'lower cost' individual slots, that are offered to those in financial difficulty. This will depend on assessments case by case.
