Alison Lancaster MSc
CBT for adults in Wigton & Online
Introduction
People come to a talking therapy for many different reasons. Psychotherapy helps treat serious problems but it offers much more than that. Even when life is ok there is always scope for self-development. Some people are just curious to understand themselves better and therapy can be useful for this as well as the distressing problems. Whatever it is that people bring to therapy I support clients in finding their strengths and courage to confront and make sense of difficult experiences and emotions. As a psychotherapist I see my function as the catalyst for people to reach a greater self-awareness, balance and harmony in life
Judith Townsley
Psychoanalysis in Carlisle & Online
Introduction
People come forward for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy when they have a current problematic symptom of a recurring nature, for example depression, anxiety, phobia, relational difficulties. Others seek psychotherapy when they feel their lives are consistently unfulfilled and empty even when they seem to be engaging in relationships and work.

Focused Therapy in Carlisle & Online
Introduction
I specialise in solution-focused brief therapy which is applicable to the majority of psychological, behavioural and relationship problems experienced in adults, children and young people. People who have suffered traumatic events or who have long-term physical health problems also find solution-focused therapy beneficial.
