Integrative Counselling

I am an integrative Counsellor with a particular focus on the relational aspect of the work. I endeavour to offer my clients a safe and confidential place to discuss their worries and concerns which enables them to move forward at their own pace.

What does Integrative Counselling mean?

Individuals think, feel and react in different ways and by integrating different theories; it can bring about change in their lives. An Integrative Counsellor can work with each client to produce a unique therapy adapted to suit what individual clients need. Below are some of the approaches that an Integrative Counsellor may use.

Person Centred Counselling offers a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor, in which the client can explore what they need and want, and how they can achieve their goals.

Psychodynamic Counselling works by bringing unconscious processes and emotions into consciousness; there is an emphasis on the influence of the past and on recurring patterns of behaviours and relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy works by examining the ways that thoughts, feelings and behaviours can affect each other, and how different aspects of these can be changed to solve specific problems. See CBT page for more information on cognitive behavioural therapy.
