Theoretical Approach

I have trained in the Humanistic Person-Centred approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy. Developing a trusting and therapeutic relationship is central to this approach as is you feeling heard, understood and less alone with your troubles. I feel it is paramount that you feel respected and accepted for whom you are and what you are capable of becoming. I do not judge you, your issues or circumstances nor tell you what you should or should not be doing. Instead I believe in the uniqueness and worth of everyone and recognise people have freedom, choices and responsibilities.

There are a number of different approaches to Therapy so it is about choosing an approach and a Therapist that feels comfortable to you and fits with any personal difficulties you want to work through.
