Psychotherapy & counselling that doesn’t take a lifetime

Good therapy could take less time than you think. Two to three sessions can make big changes to many conditions. Some certainly take longer, but you don’t need to take out a second mortgage to start feeling better.

At the Tonbridge Brief Therapy Centre, we aim to make immediate differences to the many conditions we see. Our approach is always friendly, common sense, scientifically informed and respectful of individual differences – and we avoid psychobabble of all kinds.

Our work covers a wide range of concerns, from depression, anxiety, phobias and PTSD, through anger management, stress busting, addictions, weight problems, eating disorders,pain management, exam nerves and performance improvement.

We also organize short courses for professionals and the general public and give free talks to local organizations.

The main model we draw on is the highly effective Human Givens synthesis of best practice.This covers counselling and psychotherapeutic interventions. We also offer hypnotherapy for some challenges.

The resident therapist is Rob Parkinson, (D. Hyp. Psych. (UK), HG Dip. Psych., MHGI, GQHP). We can usually also arrange individual sessions with other HG therapists and sometimes organize joint sessions with more than one therapist for families and other groups.
