So why choose Counselling?

You may be feeling overwhelmed with your troubles at the moment. You may be feeling that talking things over with your friends and family just does not seem to be enough. Counselling can offer you what is often in our busy worlds, precious time and space to express and explore our concerns and worries. A counsellor has been trained to listen, empathise, be non-judgemental and help you find your own ways of dealing with your difficulties.

In addition, Counselling gives you the assurance of confidentiality. You can be assured that whatever you share in the sessions will stay in the sessions..

My Counselling Approach

I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy. My degree level study followed what is called an Integrative approach to Counselling & Psychotherapy. This means I have studied in depth the three main Psychological theories in Counselling and I draw upon all of them according to and to meet individual client needs.

Underpinning all my work is a fundamental belief that we each have within us the resources to deal with our own difficulties. Given the right Counselling conditions – a warm, understanding, non-judgemental and honest environment – we can tap into these resources to bring about the change necessary for personal growth. Often the change is in the way we understand ourselves and the world in which we live.

Why do people choose to come to Counselling?

Sometimes life throws things at us that perhaps we need a little help with. It can also hold repressed and un-dealt with events and traumas from the past that lay stagnant and hold us back. People that seek counselling may not always be aware of what is wrong, it may just be that something doesn’t feel right and they need a safe place in which to explore and unravel their thoughts, feelings and emotions. Likewise, people may know exactly what it is that is upsetting them but need to speak to a third, impartial party and know that it will be in the strictest of confidence in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

Counselling Approach

Some problems lay in the past and others are very much in the present so therefore an eclectic mix of therapeutic methods will be used. Initially the client and therapist will work together by starting the first session(s) in the present, followed by exploring the past and then working towards a positive future. All sessions will be up-held in the strictest of confidence and provide the three main core conditions of empathy, honesty and warmth establishing a mutually respectable relationship between both the client and the therapist. All sessions will work within the boundaries of the Counselling Society Code of Ethics.
