TWICKENHAM/HOUNSLOW, UK
Social Anxiety Therapy Centre
Peter is running several different CBT courses in
Ealing as well as Twickenham/Hounslow. Please
contact him for up to date information.
There will be an initial assessment (usually on a 1:1
basis) to ensure that the course is suitable for you and
to discuss the course with you. The first part of each
session works on the cognitive part of the therapy, with
behavioural therapy in the second part. There will be a
charge of £18 per session (concessions may be
available).
We have successfully run this course a number of times
and have good feedback; no one is put under pressure and
everyone has enjoyed the course and has reported
improvement.
The course is led by Peter N Ralph, BSc (Honours)
Psychology who specialises in Social Anxiety Disorder
and who teaches Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and
Counselling Studies at Adult Education Centres. He has
successfully run a number of similar courses over the
last five years.An additional course may be organised in the Twickenham
Therapy Centre if there is sufficient demand.

Maine
Currently we're running TWO CBT Groups for social anxiety
here in southern Maine:
one for TEENS and one for ADULTS. We run ours as "closed" groups, no new
members
until a cycle has completed. Members can then elect to continue or not, and
we
permit new members to join. Then we close the group for the next 6 to 8 week
cycle.
Our teen group meets Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30PM. The adult group meets
Fridays
from 7 to 9:30PM. Anyone interested in joining would need both an
intake assessment and then a few individual sessions to prep them for
joining the
group, so we'd like to hear from them soon.

DUBLIN IRELAND INFORMATION:
We have a new Social Anxiety Therapy Group starting in Dublin, Ireland.
It is run on a weekday evening (normally Tuesday) near the city centre,
starting at 6pm and runs for aprox 2 hours.
Our group is based on the SAI tape/CD series. Our motive is to provide as
proactive and as friendly and helpful a group which will allow people to
fulfill the behavioural side of CBT.
It is important that the ground work is done by completing the SAI CD
series.
We also do some video work which we have found very beneficial in allowing
people to see their performance and progress behind it. It not as
scary as it may sound!!
People who have attended the group have reported back very positive things
and are looking forward to subsequent groups.
For this group to be successful as possible, we require new members and look
forward to hearing from you.
We can be contacted at:
