Couples and Family Therapy

Couples and Relationship Therapy

There are many reasons for seeking relationship therapy. It may be that you are experiencing frequent and reoccurring arguments, emotional and physical intimacy issues or trust issues within the relationship. Whether you are considering seeking support for communication difficulties, parenting differences or adjustments to life transitions, engaging in a structured, evidence-based approach can help navigate struggles within a dynamic. It may also bring comfort and containment to distress.

Relationship therapy can mean any relationship that you have in your life: partner, parent-child, business partner, etc. The aim is to work towards a healthier, more meaningful relationship through growth, repair and developing an understanding of some of the underlying, contributing factors. This may involve exploration but also practical strategies to take forward with you.

Fees from: £100 per 50 minute session.

Family Therapy

Family therapy can also focus upon the relationships and dynamics within a group or family. This may involve the whole of a family unit or certain sub-groups within the family unit. Similarly, it can focus upon conflict, communication difficulties or purely strengthening the family relationships. This can comprise of exploring unhelpful repeating patterns, dealing with loss and grief or coping with recovering from trauma, amongst other elements that can put a strain on family life.

Every family is unique, however, the aim of family therapy is to find an environment where all members can safely have a voice, explore their emotions and work towards a healthier family dynamic.

Fees from £120 per 50 minute session.

1. How we use your personal data
We take the privacy rights of all our clients seriously and we adopt a high standard of compliance and confidentiality when dealing with your data.

The only data we collect from you is as submitted by you on the form overleaf and when you provide information by email, questionnaires, submission of documents to our website, third party applications, telephone or during consultations. With your consent we may also collect information about you from teachers, other health professionals or a nominated family member/somebody who knows you well. Where your data is transferred by a third-party application, we require all third parties who transfer your data to be GDPR compliant and respect the security of your personal data, in accordance with the law. They are only allowed to process your data on our instruction.

We will use your sensitive personal data for the purposes of providing our services to you or if we need to comply with a legal obligation. Our legal ground of processing this data is your explicit consent.

We will use your non-sensitive personal data to (i) register you as a new client, (ii) manage payment, (iii) collect and recover monies owed to us (iv) to manage our relationship with you, (v) send you details of our goods and services.

We require all of these third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. They are only allowed to process your personal data on our instructions.

3. International transfers
Some of our third-party providers are businesses outside of the UK and EEA in countries which do not always offer the same levels of protection for your personal data. We do our best to ensure a similar degree of security by ensuring that contracts, code of conduct or certification are in place which give your personal data the same protection it has within the UK and Europe. If we are not able to do so, we will request your explicit consent to the transfer and you can withdraw this consent at any time.

4. Data security
We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal and sensitive data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your personal and sensitive data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data.

They will only process your personal and sensitive data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breaches and will notify you and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so.

In certain circumstances you can ask us to delete your data. See section 6 below.

We may anonymise your personal and sensitive data (so that you can no longer be identified from such data) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

5. Data retention
We will only keep your personal and sensitive data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it.

This benchmark will be applied to all clinical records made in the process of engagement with our service. For any children we treat we are obliged to retain medical information until 7 years after the child’s 18th birthday.
