Bolton Counselling offers the opportunity for private individuals and couples to access differing clinical methods of conversational therapy to overcome many of life's problems. The type of method will be determined by our Clinical Director based on the issues presented on first assessment. For example we have Counsellors that use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt, Person Centered and Transactional Analysis amongst others. Clients will receive the same very high standards of care and case management that our parent company Amian, offers to corporate and public sector clients. Our therapists work to a short-term solution method, usually involving 6 hourly sessions initially spaced weekly and then fortnightly. However this is only a guideline and depends on the presenting issues of our clients and your Therapist's assessment of your progress. We can also offer longer term care where needed and appropriate.
