The difference is in the structure

A visual comparison of the components included in a standard session-based model and a bespoke programme model. This is a conceptual illustration, not a clinical outcome measure.

Illustrative comparison of service structure.

The difference isn’t simply the therapy session. It’s what surrounds it.

Our programmes are designed to give the client a structured journey rather than simply another appointment in the diary.

We take the time to understand the individual, create an appropriate programme around their circumstances, and where suitable provide bespoke workbooks, recordings and exercises to support the work between sessions.

That means the client has opportunities to learn, reflect, practise and revisit relevant material between appointments.

We don’t believe people should have to fit themselves into a programme. We believe the programme should be shaped around the person.

That is what we mean by bespoke therapy.
