Author: 2. Eckhart Tolle

"I have little use for the past and rarely think about it...until my thirtieth year, I lived in a state of almost continuous anxiety interspersed with periods of suicidal depression. It feels now as if I am talking about some past lifetime or somebody else's life." ET

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.” ET

“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.” ET

"In 1971, I decided to kill myself." B O'H

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" B O'H

"...this [solution-oreinted] approach suggests acknowledging the past and then getting on with changing things" B O'H

"One way to solve a problem, then, is not to analyze why the problem arose, but to change what you are doing to solve it."

B O'H

Author: 6. John Moriarty

Dr John Moriarty, the Irish philosopher-poet, was “widely regarded as having one of the finest minds of his generation” but turned to gardening in search of his biological, cultural and spiritual roots after becoming uncomfortable with academia (Clare, P. The Guardian 2007)

“How could a cottage whose yard door was shadowed by wych elms not teach me?

How could a cottage mirrored in the Owenmore not teach me?”

(Moriarty, 2007 p135).

“Who am I sociologically? Who am I giving an account of myself in a curriculum vitae or answering the questions on a census form? All of that sense of myself fallen away from me, I go out to find out who I am in the hazel wood, and two hours later there I am following the girl with the apple blossom in her hair.”

(Moriarty, 2007 p94)

“…I sensed that the mule in me had gone down on his knees before Christ, that the Minotaur in me had gone down on his knees before Christ, that Chiron the Centaur in me had gone down on his knees before Christ. More abstractly, I sensed that my inner phylogenetic ancient regime had gone down on its knees before Christ. This was my French Revolution, and the only difference between me and the Minotaur was that his beastliness had outcropped more obviously in him than mine had in me” (Moriarty, 2007, p368).

Author(s) 7: Jaak Panksepp & Lucy Biven

This book describes seven emotional systems that explain how we live and behave. These systems originate in deep areas of the brain that are remarkably similar across all mammalian species. When they are disrupted, we find the origins of emotional disorders.

Effective Short-term counselling or Longer-term treatment: Discount applies if self-funding

For Adults, Children or the Whole family


Our team of Professional Qualified Humanistic, Psychodynamic & Integrative clinicians can be accessed without the waiting lists experienced with many other healthcare providers. Specializing in innovative and effective person-centred EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT and NLP talking therapies in Chichester (for adults and children), our therapists are here to help you. Whether you are experiencing a time of stress, trauma, loss, change, confusion, depression or heightened emotion counselling/psychotherapy can offer crucial and timely support. Here, we offer short- or long-term treatment to adults, children, young people, groups, families and organisations in Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire (and internationally - through telephone & online support) without the need of long waiting lists and a narrow choice of interventions.

Welcome! We would like to help you! Our therapies are assessed collaboratively with you and progress side by side with your hopes and expectations in order to stay as effective as we can. You are the expert on you. Our therapists are suitably qualified and experienced in facilitating therapeutic change.


Paul Gregory Associates Ltd is an independent, professional organisation offering access to experienced male and female counsellors. Therapeutic casework is assessed and managed centrally and all therapists are qualified, experienced, accredited and registered with a recognised professional organisation e.g. BACP (or working towards) and receive qualified mode-appropriate supervision. We aim to deliver the most effective treatments by matching clients with the most suitable therapist. At the initial consultation, your assessor will help you through some key questions in order to understand your particular needs. Then, once agreed, your assessor will involve you in the allocation of your therapist.

How much does therapy cost?

Counsellor Bosham Chichester

 

It's an important question.

We don't want to be vague, but it varies across the industry, and even across our clientele! The hourly cost of therapy can be anywhere from free (e.g. charitable organizations) to hundreds of pounds (e.g. in some London clinics). Fees usually depend on a clinic's expertise (practitioner Qualification/Accreditation/Registration & experience, clinical reputation/professional standing, adequate insurances (liability & employer's), ongoing supervision/CPD (Continuous Professional Development), and facilities-associated overheads (convenience, comfort, aesthetics etc).

 

Our fees

Here at Paul Gregory Associates Ltd, fees can vary according to several variables e.g. type of intervention (long-term/short-term), number of clients per intervention (individual/couple's/group), length of session (single, session-and-a-half, double), location of an intervention (home, clinic, in vivo, telephone, etc), whether professional/referral agencies are involved (where additional reports, admin or Court appearances are often requested). By way of openness and transparency, "Online Therapy" fees have been discounted to £115/45mins or £150/60mins (accurate as of October 2024). Agencies may be required to pay the full standard fee due to additional considerations including administrative procedures eg report reading/writing, meeting attendance, and additional processing time. Don't be afraid to be upfront about finances! As with most therapists, we will offer a sliding scale of fees according to your means (and our availability) where necessary. We would rather help than not, and if we can we will. Please ask.

 

In our experience, effective therapy is an investment. And research suggests that effective therapy depends on the therapeutic relationship (between client and therapist) above all other clinical considerations. Therefore, the therapy company you choose is the crucial bit. Fees can (and should) be discussed and revisited anytime!
