Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling for Adults
Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling for Adults
Taking the first steps in your therapeutic journey can feel scary. Whatever the reason you find yourself here know that I will meet you with compassion and kindness. With a humanistic approach, our sessions will feel like a journey as together we make meaning from and try to better understand your journey so far...
Psychotherapeutic Counselling puts the relationship between therapist and client at the heart of the work. A successful relationship is a joint endeavour and is the key to not only being able to offer relief from suffering in the short term, but also bringing about an understanding of ourselves, that has long term benefits.
At times we all struggle and it has been in those times for me that the humanistic philosophies have brought me insight and understanding. With an emphasis on collaboration in therapy I have been able to bring understanding to my own journey, the world and my relationships.
It is often helpful for us to develop coping strategies and figure out how to 'fix' our problems. However, my hopes for you include being able to evolve better ways of dealing with the complications of life, develop resilience and discover peace, acceptance and ultimately healing.
The work of a therapist is never done and I continuously seek opportunities to learn and develop through books, podcasts, media and further training.
