Our qualified counsellors are highly trained in Integrative practice using a combination of theoretical approaches; Transactional Analysis (TA), Person-centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to offer a tailored approach to suit your needs.
What does this mean for you? It means we work collaboratively to explore your unconscious thoughts and feelings, determine how your past experiences may be playing a role in your present issue or reoccurring patterns of behaviour and identify goals for the future. This can be achieved by developing your self-awareness and improving your self-worth.
A counsellor is professionally trained to listen sensitively to another’s concerns with an open mind and without judging. A counsellor will not offer advice but will help you explore what lies behind current feelings. They will help you become more aware of your own inner resources and support you as you begin to use those resources to help cope with difficult feelings and situations.
The sessions are held on a weekly basis. The number of sessions required depend on the type of therapy you have, your personal circumstances and requirements.
