An evolving approach to counselling

8/19/2016

As my counselling career has progressed I have evolved my approach to client work.  In my early days I was focused so much on technical skills that I was in danger of forgetting the most important element to counselling:  the relationship between client and counsellor.
 
Although I have not forgotten this when it comes to the work I do with each client, perhaps I had let this slip my mind when I designed my website.  I noticed that it did not speak as clearly about my approach as I had hoped.
 
I am pleased therefore to announce that my website has now been substantially reworked to reflect my approach to counselling.  And this is…
 
The core of my approach to counselling is Person-Centred, and so I believe that you will be able to find the answers.  It may be that you need support with this, but I will not approach counselling with a pre-conceived notion of what might be helpful for you.  Instead, I will work hard with you to understand your dilemmas, and I will support you to find your own way through.

I have been trained to integrate other approaches, and as each person is unique, it is important to adapt my approach to suit your individual needs.  This means that I can draw upon a number of different theories to inform our work, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), Psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Gestalt psychotherapy.
​
If appropriate, I can offer clients an alternative way of exploring an issue.  Examples include writing exercises, drawing, visualisation exercises and role play (such as the empty-chair technique).  I offer short and long term work depending on your individual needs and your preferred way of working.


Hope that is clear.  Do get in touch!
