The process of engaging with therapy has been designed to be simple, supportive, and reassuring from the very beginning.
Sessions are delivered by a professional and qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and are available online or in person at Ochilview Therapies, Newlands Road, Reddingmuirhead, Falkirk FK2 0DY.
Therapy is a collaborative experience and is tailored to your individual needs, with the number of sessions guided by your goals and circumstances. One session typically lasts 60 minutes and is most effective when arranged weekly.
Making Contact
You are welcome to get in touch by email or using the Contact Page, sharing only what feels comfortable. We will have a brief conversation to explore what you are looking for, ask questions and get a sense of whether this service feels the right fit for you.
Working Together
If you decide you would like to go ahead, you will receive a registration form and working agreement by email. This will provide helpful background information and ensures you have all the practical details about confidentiality, fees and how we will work together. You can complete this in your own time before we meet.
Your First Session
We will arrange a first appointment to explore what has brought you to therapy and what you would like support with. A first session can sometimes feel overwhelming and it can often be the case that you don’t know exactly what you want to achieve through therapy. You will be welcomed and supported just as you are, dedicating enough space and time to explore what is important to you. There is no pressure to share everything all at once, or in a perfect way.
Ongoing Therapy
Sessions usually take place weekly, creating consistency and space for meaningful progress. Our work will be collaborative, practical, and grounded in compassion. Some sessions may be reflective and open ended, while others may follow a structure where we use a ‘CBT tool’ to support our conversation. Between sessions you may be asked to test out some of the learning and tools used in our time together. Sessions will always be guided by what feels most important to you and aligned to your goals.
A Calm, Private Space
You will be welcomed into a quiet counselling room at Ochilview Therapies in Reddingmuirhead, Falkirk — a peaceful setting where you can speak openly and feel supported. The front of the building is dedicated to two private counselling rooms with washroom facilities, all on the ground floor. Free onsite and street parking is available.
