Kyle Thurlow

I offer face to face as well as online appointments up to 8pm in the evenings. i also accommodate for weekend appointments. I offer a free 15 minute initial assessment to all perspective clients.

I have an extensive range of experience, of working with a vast variety of client issues. I offer clients an integrative approach to treatment, which best meets each individual's needs. I originally trained as a person-centred therapist. However, i also draw from a wide range of evidenced based psychological therapies. I have completed additional trauma focused therapy training which has enabled me to work effectively with individual's who have experienced prolonged and sever traumas. 

My main area of expertise is working with client's who have dissociative identity disorder (DID), and/or dissociative disorders, c-PTSD and PTSD, sexual abuse, bipolar personality disorders, depression, anxiety, as well as grief and bereavement.

I conduct a detailed intake from each client, this in turn helps me understand your psychological needs. Which then we can collaboratively tailor the treatment to best suite each client and at their pace. I work in a time limited format and offer initially 20 sessions to each client. However, if more sessions are required then we simply review and continue.

Treatment for clients with DID and dissociative disorders, as well as those who have experienced extreme traumas over prolonged periods of time, their treatment tends to take longer and this will be at the clients pace. This treatment will be collaboratively discussed and worked out together, again to best meet their needs.

Much of the trauma work I do with client's is separated into different phases (6 in total). The first session will be basically phase 1 which consists of assessments and history taking. A large majority of the assessments can be completed before our first session. However, if for some reason this is not possible then this would need to be completed within our first session. (the reason for this is this helps me understand what is taking place within the clients).
