I can help promote your emotional health, by deepening an understanding of what difficulties that impact on ordinary everyday life. I can enable you to reach a goal or make a change in your life. I believe you can achieve this by a person-centred and non-judgemental approach.
I am an experienced Counsellor offering a range of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person Centred with creative techniques. I have been counselling for 11yrs and am CBT trained, person-centred with creative techniques. My model is using techniques that challenge thought processes to help change come about with further exploration. I am a skilled listener which enhances the relationship between my client and myself. I encourage my client to become autonomous which enabled others to explore life challenges to making changes. My qualifications are in CBT, person-centred where I studied and gained an advantaged diploma in therapeutic counselling. I then went on to study Bereavement and gained a foundation certificate with CRUSE bereavement care. Further to this I then went onto study for a Post diploma in counselling children and young people, where I gained more skill and knowledge in working in a different way other than talking therapies. I have an interest in particular difficulties that impact daily life, such as anger, self-esteem, depression, relationships, domestic violence, and abuse are all parts of studies I have studied and work with to enable me to gain a therapeutic understanding and knowledge to offer in my practice. My values in counselling are about building trust, safety, and rapport which are the core values of person-centred counselling. I believe my clients have a right to validation, nurturing, and respect.
CBT is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviours, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
Person-centred therapy was developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940s.
This type of therapy diverged from the traditional model of the therapist as expert and moved instead toward a nondirective, empathic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process. The therapy is based on Rogers’s belief that every human being strives for and has the capacity to fulfil his or her own potential. Person-centred therapy, also known as Rogerian therapy, has had a tremendous impact on the field of psychotherapy and many other disciplines.
Working with creative techniques enables the client to access parts of the brain that can access difficulties and distress from talking therapies.
