How I Work
The Person Centred Approach - Helping You Out of The Maze to Find a Path of Your Own…
I’m a passionate advocate of the Person-Centred Approach (PCA).
As a person-centred counsellor I believe you have a unique tendency to strive in the way that’s best for you. As such, I believe most answers to your problems lie within yourself… it’s my job to help you find them.
Life can feel like a complicated maze at times. Sometimes events in life can stop you from thriving in the way that’s best for you. Sometimes other people - no matter how well meaning - can also be a barrier to your recovery.
I believe the therapeutic relationship we build together is key to your trust in me. From this place of trust, you can explore your thoughts and feelings without being judged. By carefully listening and supporting you, I can help you consider your experiences and ideas. In this way, I believe you can find your own path - and your own voice - so that you can go on to make better choices for yourself and live a happier, more fulfilled life.
Person-Centred therapy can take longer than CBT and other forms of counselling. It may take time for us to unpack your difficulties and work out what’s going on for you. However, research suggests that the outcomes for person-centred counselling are greater and longer lasting. By choosing person-centred counselling you are therefore making an investment in yourself and your future.
Ethical Practice
I’m an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and my registration number is 381145. As a registered member of the BACP, I work within their ethical framework to deliver counselling that is safe, professional and accountable. Further information on the BACP can be found here.
As a counsellor I also engage in regular supervision, peer support and personal development. I have full public liability insurance and a clear DBS certificate. To ensure compliance with the GDPR, I’m also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Before working together I will send you copies of my working agreement and privacy policies. These ensure you are aware of what you can expect whilst you are working with me.
Sustainability
I strive to ensure my practice is as sustainable as possible. I aim to run a ‘paper-free’ private practice, with electronic recording systems. Offering remote counselling, in addition to face-to-face sessions in a central location with good transport links, gives you the opportunity to consider your carbon footprint.
