My approach

I am an integrative counsellor and bring together both Psychodynamic and Person-Centred counselling techniques.  I take the view that no single counselling approach can help a client in all situations and will tailor counselling techniques to meet your individual needs and circumstances.  My focus will also be on valuing and developing our relationship so that we can maximise its therapeutic purpose.

Integrative

A combined counselling approach that brings together different elements of specific counselling approaches.

Psychodynamic

From the spontaneity of your true thoughts and feelings we can explore where they originate from to see if any unresolved  issues from your past might be affecting your current mood or behaviour.  Helping to gain self-understanding or symptom relief.

Person-Centred

This approach is based on the view that everyone has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change, given the right conditions.   Being non-directive but offering a genuine relationship that is, empathic and respectful.  Helping you to develop and grow in your own way.
