The words Counselling & Therapy ( generally Psychotherapy ) can conjure up all manner of thoughts and ideas in ones mind.

 Attempts to distinguish between Counselling and Psychotherapy are generally not very successful, the term can be and is frequently used interchangeably.

In essence our approach would be described as Integrative, ( not eclectic) this means we use a number of approaches and models that are interdependent and blend them into a single usable technique. These would include Creative Work, EMDR, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Spiritual, Body Work and so on.

This way of working allows us to be intuitive, self aware and in touch with your bodily and emotional selves. Also by taking this approach we can observe, develop and then shape an overall counselling process while still using immediacy. Therefore instead of fitting you into a tight single model without flexibility we aim to mould our Counselling and approach around you and your problems because different approaches work with different people with different problems.

Our counselling does not provide advice, although we sometimes use a direct approach if we feel that a client with perhaps a crisis is unable to make even the most basic decisions. More often than not our approach is non directive, we believe that our work with individuals and couples is much more than fixing a problem, it is helping our clients to understand why, where and how the problems arise. Our aim is for you to grasp these understandings and in doing so take this knowledge with you and apply it to the rest of your life.

.

It is a totally confidential, non-judgmental service where you will be heard and able to discuss, explore and understand your feelings and

 thoughts. Some problems are more complex than others and more in-depth work is used which will take longer.

 We are flexible, it is your journey and with our regular reviews you will come to a time when you feel ready and able to stop. “No one knows the client better than the client themselves ”Our counsellors all undertake regular supervision and continue to train on all aspects of Psychotherapy and Counselling We adhere to the A.C.C and B.A.C.P codes of ethics. We offer male or female counsellors and a couple if required. We offer an initial assessment consultation, if both parties are comfortable we would ask you to sign an agreement.
