Do I Need Counselling, Therapy or a Psychologist?

Some people benefit from adult counselling, while others are better suited to psychological therapy, specialist assessment or support from a Clinical Psychologist. During your first appointment, we’ll take time to understand your experiences, answer your questions and recommend the approach that best meets your needs.

At Cura Psychology, we believe the relationship with your therapist is just as important as the therapy itself. That’s why we focus on understanding you, not simply the difficulties that have brought you to us.

Our approach is neuro-affirming and takes account of each person’s individual differences, neurodiversity, ethnicity and culture.

Adult Counselling & Therapy Tailored to You

Many people reach out for support when life has reached breaking point.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted. You may have lost confidence, be struggling in your relationships or feel like you’ve been “holding everything together” for far too long.

Others come to us after trying counselling or therapy elsewhere and wondering why it didn’t seem to help.

Whatever has brought you here, you’re not alone.

As an established, family-run multidisciplinary practice, we’ve helped many adults move from simply surviving each day to feeling more confident, resilient and able to enjoy life again.

Every person is unique, which is why we never offer a one-size-fits-all approach.

Meet Our Team of Clinical Psychologists, Counsellors & Therapists

Our multidisciplinary team includes HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists, experienced counsellors and accredited therapists, each bringing different areas of expertise.

Together we offer a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Compassion-focused approaches
Integrative counselling
Trauma-informed therapy

Because we offer a range of therapeutic approaches, we can carefully match you with the clinician and therapy that best meets your needs, rather than expecting one approach to suit everyone.

If your needs change during therapy, we can adapt your treatment or recommend another member of our multidisciplinary team.

Psychological Assessments for Adults

Some people come to us looking for counselling or therapy.

Others are seeking answers.

We also provide specialist psychological assessments, including:

ADHD Assessments
Autism Assessments
Cognitive Assessments

Our experienced clinicians will help you decide whether an assessment or therapy is the most appropriate place to begin.

What Can Counselling and Therapy Help With?

We support adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

Anxiety counselling & Panic Attacks

Anxiety can affect both your mind and body, leaving you constantly worrying, overthinking or expecting the worst.

You may experience racing thoughts, panic attacks, poor sleep, muscle tension or avoid situations that once felt manageable.

Our therapists and psychologists help you understand your anxiety and develop practical strategies to regain confidence and reduce its impact on your daily life.

Depression Counselling & Low Mood

Depression can leave you feeling exhausted, hopeless or disconnected from the things you once enjoyed.

You may find everyday tasks difficult, lose motivation or become increasingly critical of yourself.

Counselling and therapy can help you understand what is contributing to your low mood and support you in moving forward.

Trauma Therapy & PTSD

Trauma can continue to affect your life long after difficult experiences have ended.

Whether you’ve experienced a single traumatic event or complex trauma over many years, our experienced therapists and psychologists provide compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy, including EMDR where appropriate.

OCD Therapy

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours that can significantly affect everyday life.

With specialist therapy, many people find they are able to reduce the impact OCD has on their daily lives and regain a sense of control.

Stress, Burnout & Work-Related Pressure

Long-term stress can affect your physical health, emotional wellbeing, relationships and confidence.

Together we’ll help you understand what is maintaining your stress and develop healthier ways of coping before burnout takes a greater toll.

How do I know whether I need counselling or therapy?

It can be hard to know when is best to reach out for help. Many people wonder whether what they’re experiencing is “serious enough” to seek counselling or therapy. But you don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from professional support.

You may find counselling helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, low in mood, struggling with relationships, navigating grief or loss, experiencing trauma, adjusting to life changes, or simply feeling stuck. Therapy can also help you better understand yourself, build resilience, improve your emotional wellbeing, and develop healthier ways of coping.

You don’t need to have all the answers before reaching out. If something is affecting your quality of life, relationships, work, or sense of wellbeing, talking to a psychologist can provide a safe, supportive space to explore what’s happening and identify practical ways forward.

Do I need a referral?

No. You do not need a GP referral to book an appointment.

Many people choose to self-refer when they feel ready to begin counselling. You can contact us directly to arrange an initial appointment and we’ll discuss during this what brings you to therapy, your goals, and whether our approach feels like the right fit for you.

If you’ve been referred by your GP, employer, insurer, such as BUPA or AXA or another healthcare professional, you’re equally welcome.

How many sessions will I need?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer because every person, situation, and goal is different.

Some people find that a small number of sessions helps them work through a specific challenge, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns, trauma, or longstanding difficulties. During our first sessions, we’ll discuss your needs and agree on an approach that feels right for you. We are guided by recommendations from NICE an organisation which gives medical practitioners and psychologists guidance on what treatments work and for whom.

Therapy is collaborative, so we’ll regularly review your progress together to ensure you’re getting the support you need.

Can I have online appointments?

Yes. We offer secure online counselling appointments, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home or another confidential space.

Online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face counselling for many people and offers greater flexibility for busy professionals, parents, people with mobility difficulties, or anyone who prefers not to travel.

All you need is a reliable internet connection and a quiet, private place where you feel comfortable talking.

Some people choose a blend of both online and face to face appointments.

How much does counselling cost?

Our current counselling fees are available on the Cura Psychology Fees page.

The cost reflects dedicated one-to-one time, professional expertise, ongoing training, and a confidential therapeutic space focused entirely on your wellbeing. Payment information and cancellation policies will be explained before your first appointment, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Sometimes fees are fixed by insurers and you may have an access to pay so please check with your insurer regarding their terms and conditions on your policy.

If you have any questions about fees before booking, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

How do I book?

Booking is simple.

You can contact us through the website, by email, or by phone to arrange an initial appointment. We’ll respond as soon as possible to discuss availability, answer any questions you may have, and help you decide whether counselling feels like the right next step.

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and whether we’re a good fit to work together.

Is counselling confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of counselling and psychotherapy and helps create a safe, trusting environment where you can speak openly without fear of judgement.

Everything we discuss during your sessions is kept confidential, with a few legal and ethical exceptions. These include situations where there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, concerns about the safety of a child or vulnerable adult, or where disclosure is required by law. If confidentiality ever needed to be broken, I would discuss this with you wherever possible.

At the start of therapy, I’ll explain confidentiality fully so you know exactly how your information is stored, protected, and managed.
