What is 1-2-1 Therapy?

1-2-1 therapy, also known as individual therapy, is a private, structured form of psychological support. It provides a safe, confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours with a trained therapist.

Unlike group therapy, 1-2-1 therapy is entirely tailored to your specific needs and goals. This approach is effective for:

✔ Anxiety disorders (Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder)
✔ Depression and low mood
✔ PTSD and trauma-related distress
✔ OCD, phobias, and health anxiety
✔ Low self-esteem and confidence issues

At MindKey Therapy, we offer professional, evidence-based therapy to help individuals develop effective coping strategies and regain control over their mental well-being.

2. Complete Confidentiality

Therapy provides a private space to discuss personal struggles without fear of judgment.

3. Effective Coping Strategies

You’ll learn practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties.

4. Faster Progress

5. Long-Term Benefits
