What to expect
I use an integrative approach to counselling which means I draw on a range of different models including person-centred, humanistic, CBT, Solution Focused approaches.

Humanistic therapy tends to be more optimistic, basing its treatment on the theory that individuals have a natural inclination to strive toward self-fulfillment. The central principle of CBT is we can change our feelings and increase our quality of life through changing our thoughts and behaviour. The idea of the therapeutic alliance is not so much that I am there to help you, but rather that together, as a team, we can work through your difficulties.

I will help you to acquire strategies that can be effective in challenging and modifying faulty patterns of thoughts. This generally results in improved mood, a more positive attitude and an increased level of competence.

At the end of the first session I will suggest how many sessions will be required to help you work through your issues.
As a guideline, most clients attend a minimum of 6.
