Contact Form
Please ask any question that is relevant to helping you decide about how to move forward. This step is often the most daunting but be assured that I will be the only person to see this email and I will respond to it personally. It will not go to any third parties.
Telephone Conversation
Some clients wish to have a telephone conversation before deciding on whether to engage in an assessment or not in order to allow them to ask any specific questions, discuss the primary issue at hand and develop a sense of comfort with me. This also allows us to answer questions such as; do I need to see a psychologist? Can you help me with my problem? What can I expect from therapy? The telephone call usually lasts approximately 20 minutes and is arranged according to the clients schedule. It should be noted that this is an optional step and you may opt to go directly for an assessment.
Assessment
Following on from initial contact, we carry out a thorough assessment. This consists of sitting down with me for approximately two hours and reflect on various aspects of your past such as; upbringing, health, relationships, occupation. This allows us both to ascertain the context in which the presenting issue has arose and therefore plot a way forward that we both agree on.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy we will work together to address the issues identified in the assessment stage. This work can be limited to a set number of sessions agreed previously, or can be left open-ended to allow for what may come up.
Speaking Engagements
I am available for speaking engagements. Previously I have given talks at companies, schools, and charities.
As part of my commitment to give back to the community, I am available to deliver talks to charity events free of charge and time permitting. Please contact me for further details.
Professional Consultation
At Curtis Psychological Services, I am also able to accommodate certain professional consultations.
"I had been experiencing anxiety and heightened stress levels for some time... I am now far less anxious and as for my stress levels, these too have significantly reduced... I highly recommend Declan, he has helped me through identifying key issues and working through them"
"Declan supported me during the most difficult time in my life, challenging my thought processes and providing a safe environment for self-reflection and growth"
"Declan created a safe space for me to process a very difficult relationship breakdown, gently guiding me to a place of better understanding and acceptance"
"Since attending therapy with Declan I now have a renewed optimism in how I approach certain situations and feel much happier in myself, knowing I was able to speak to someone who was able to gather an understanding of why I may have been feeling a certain way"
