PERSONAL APPROACH
I believe the most important aspect of counselling is the relationship between the counsellor and client. Taking the first steps towards counselling is a brave and potentially life-changing decision, and a good working rapport builds the trust required for a client to feel safe in sharing difficult issues in a confidential setting without fear of any judgement.
People deal with life experiences in different ways, therefore I use an integrative approach, which is a combination of different theories and approaches to suit each client’s individual needs.
I have been trained as an Integrative counsellor using psychodynamic and person-centred theory. I also draw on CBT, NLP, Gestalt and TA theories depending on the clients individual needs. This approach has helped people with issues such as depression, trauma, addictions, anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, family and relationship issues and many others.
Through working together and offering reliable, consistent support, I would aim to help clients find new perspectives, identify old patterns and develop their own inner resources, confidence and acceptance within a supportive environment.
