One-to-One
Individual Psychotherapy
BIP offers individual psychotherapy, either short or long-term, for people over 18. This may be for general personal development or for therapy in relation to particular difficulties or issues.
For personal growth and development
Bi-weekly Psychodrama Psychotherapy Group
This is an ongoing group, running since 2022. Places are very limited and open only occasionally.
About the group
This group is for anyone over 18 who is interested in personal growth and development, whether for personal or professional reasons. Participants will have the opportunity to work supportively together on important personal issues. These issues may include family and relationship difficulties, job-related problems, coping with stress, emotional problems, self-doubt, low self-esteem and unresolved trauma or loss. An important aim of the group will be to help participants develop desired roles and skills to open the way to more effective living in personal relationships, in the workplace and in the community.
Group participants will also have the opportunity to offer and receive support and feedback. There can be great benefit in the support that comes from being in a group, and the interactions within the group are valuable opportunities for learning. The emphasis will be on ensuring that the group remains a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment for personal work to take place.
About the method
The main model of therapy used is psychodrama, and this is integrated with methods from related approaches such as cognitive therapy or arts therapies where appropriate.
Some people are concerned that they need acting experience to join. This is not necessary at all. Psychodrama is not about giving a performance but is instead focused on creating a beneficial experience for the person in focus and for the group as a whole.
Other information
Prior to joining the group, we ask that you attend an initial one-hour individual meeting / exploration to discuss your aims in joining the group, your history and any questions you may have. We will also consider whether this group will be appropriate for you. This meeting will not commit you to joining the group. There will be no charge for this meeting.
