Holistic Stress Management

CHANGE WORKS UNLIMITED – THERAPY INFORMATION

ABOUT THE TREATEMENT

A course of treatment, comprising a number of sessions, will be devised to suit the needs of the individual client. This will be done after the initial consultation. The number of sessions required will depend upon how long the client has had the problem, its complexity and their rate of progress during the course.

Complex problems such as analysing and managing stress, dealing with deep rooted emotional problems or changing long established behaviours can require, on average 6 sessions, the first of which will need to be an extended session.

A single session is 1 hour and an extended session is 1.5 hours. 2 hour sessions are also available and will be offered where the therapist feels additional value will be gained by the client. Alternatively, some people benefit greatly from being able to focus on one particular area or challenge in-depth as a one off and so an intensive 3 hour session is also available.

A 2 hour blended session of Reiki and Holistic Stress Management is also available where both therapist and client feel it will enhance the treatment.

Treatments are offered to complement, not replace, those provided and arranged by the client’s General Practitioner, who retains primary responsibility for their medical care at all times. Clients are encouraged to make their GP aware of any courses of treatments they undertake.

The basis of much of the treatment can be defined as “guided self-help”; the results obtained will depend upon clients’ motivation, involvement and efforts. Clients can maximise the benefits of their treatment by

• Being open and honest with their therapist and with themselves
• Undertaking practises and exercises in the manager, and for the duration, recommended by the therapist

Treatments are conducted in accordance with published codes and standards of:
