What is psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy can be invaluable if you have emotional, behavioural, psychological or mental difficulties. The actual work is mainly to talk and explore your feelings, beliefs and thoughts, and sometimes, relevant aspects of and events in your childhood and personal history in a safe, confidential and contained environment. Psychotherapy can help you to understand more about your problems and then make appropriate changes in your thinking and behaviour. The work can be long term to resolve deep rooted issues and facilitate positive life changes. Brief psychotherapy is also possible to help those in a more immediate crisis.
a window into self
Psychotherapy is a professional relationship within which you can explore difficult, and often painful, emotions and experiences. These may include feelings of anxiety, depression, trauma, or perhaps the loss of meaning of one's life. It is a process that seeks to help you gain an increased capacity for choice, through which you can become more autonomous and self determined. A good psychotherpist does not offer advice but helps you to explore your options.
Psychotherapy can help you with Relationship issues, Bereavement and loss, stress, Life crisis. The process can relieve anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, fear and anger and help you find purpose and meaning in your life through exploring future hopes, dreams, ambitions and spiritual yearnings.
Psychotherapy is also very effective for Surviving abuse, Post-traumatic stress disorder, Panic attacks and phobias, Health related issues.
Tyrone Duff
I am a Transpersonal psychotherapist which means my foundations are within a spiritual framework but I draw together all therapeutic approaches (see below for more information). I view the person as a holistic being encompassing mind, body and soul. I integrate Eastern philosophies with western psychotherapeutic approaches. My developed body awareness from my yoga, meditation and shiatsu practice supports a body centred approach. I have a strong leaning towards the phenomenological in that I like to work with the here and now, meeting the person with respect and mindfulnessand allowing each moment to unfold naturally.
I have been described as “..a lovely blend of masculine and feminine energies. He is containing but not afraid to be direct, receptive and yet able to ask searching, penetrating questions. He is respectful of the therapeutic process allowing space and time to work their magic, with gentle therapeutic nudging to ease the journey along. He is authentic, insightful and intelligent” (Lynn Somerfield)
I work to the code of ethics laid down by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy
The process of therapy needs a firm commitment to weekly sessions and ideally at a regular time slot.
My fees are on a sliding scale from £35 -£50 per session

psychotheraputic approaches include:
Psychodynamic- looking how the past impacts on the present
Humanistic-staying with the here and now, seeking to raise awareness of what is going on and promote the client’s taking responsibility for his or her own life
Existential- exploring life’s purpose and meaning
Gestalt- working with what’s happening in the body
Transpersonal- works with ways to access the unconscious through dreams, body awareness, using artwork, guided meditations, rediscovering your souls journey
Phenomenological - Embracing the here and now; working with the relationship in the room, allowing the space to unfold and meeting the space that the client brings each time with mindfulness.
