I work in a person-centred way which means I am led by what is important to you. The therapeutic relationship is a very crucial aspect of counselling and my belief and experience have shown that if this is established in a boundaried setting clients are likely to feel that they can safely explore and express their concerns which will encourage transformation and new or different choices. I will listen sincerely with empathy and with genuine interest and curiosity to you without judgement. If needs be I sometimes draw on tools and techniques from other modalities such as CBT or mindfulness to facilitate understanding and awareness as it is important to have a flexible approach so that the uniqueness of each client is acknowledged and facilitated.

 

We are all unique and counselling needs to be reflective of this. Working together on what you feel is relative and most important to you will always be at the core of our sessions. My flexible approach means we can cover deep exploratory work, which may take more time; or we can focus on the here and now which may be more short term. Gaining an insight of how habitual thought patterns may influence behaviour, mood and physical symptoms can lead to better self-awareness and understanding. Alongside this comes empowerment, through embracing your vulnerabilities and accessing your inner resilience.
