my approach to therapy is

person-centred...

 

At the foundation of my approach to therapy is a core training in the Person-Centred Approach. This means that I aim to be:

· understanding and accepting, not judgemental

· interested and engaged in your experience, not analytical

· honest and human, not a cold professional ‘front’

 

... and humanistic

 

In addition to these core Person-Centred attitudes, I hold the following broader Humanistic beliefs which influence my way of working:

· the past will influence how a person perceives and relates to themselves, others and the world

· whilst an understanding of past influences is important and can be very healing, it does not in itself transform the present

· therapy provides an opportunity for the client to understand and transform their present
