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.
