When you need a brief solution, you'd choose Dean Richardson's brief focal therapy. Brief therapy is a specialised, time-limited form of counselling that offers you a set number of sessions (discussed between you and Dean at the beginning). By being focussed upon a single, important subject, the counselling work becomes swift, concentrated ... and budget-able. Brief psychodynamic counselling is not suitable for everyone ('open-ended' being another option), but whether six sessions, twelve, or a number specific to your needs, Dean will help you decide if this can be a good therapy for you...
