HOW WE WORK
The Pink Practice offers online sessions for individuals, couples and families. Therapists at the Pink Practice work with a similar style because they are trained in systemic, narrative and social constructionist practice. Having said that, if you're ineterested in working with us, we will invite you to have a short phone or video call first to check if what you're looking for fits with what we can offer. Then we will have a think about which in-house or associate therapist will suit you best because some therapists may have specific experience that would work for you. We also consider what time of the week you want to have sessions and who might be available.
The overall style of therapy is conversational, interactive with questions to help think through whatever is on your mind. Therapists can give you feedback about what you are concerned about and sometimes make suggestions for you to choose from. We try to use uncomplicated language.
It is an explorative and respectful approach and can be usefully stretching at times. Your therapist will be interested in your ideas about the nature of your struggles and what you have tried to improve things to date. They will share their thoughts with you about what you tell them and ask questions to open up thinking about what is going on for you. They might make suggestions of things to try between appointments.
In theoretical terms, the practice draws on a relational model of therapy - systemic, social constructionist and narrative therapy. This means that we are interested in how your "stories" affect your sense of yourself, the choices you make and your relationship patterns and possibilities. People live in many kinds of relationships and much of how we see the world and understand ourselves is influenced by the people we are or have been surrounded by.
As therapists, we are interested in what ideas you are drawing on and how these ideas or "stories" might be working for you or keeping things feeling stuck and frustrating. We also find it can be useful to talk about your style or pattern of communication and handling of different emotions.
Therapy or counselling can create opportunities for identifying the unhelpful stories and behaviours. It can support and develop more useful ideas and behaviours which offer the dignity, strength and know-how which your circumstances may be needing.
We offer short and longer term work - all online. You decide with the therapist how often you want appointments and how many. We often encourage gaps between appointments to allow time to process new ideas and change. So you might want appointments weekly, fortnightly, three weekly or monthly.
