THERAPY WITH ME IS...
...experiencing a safe, confidential, non-judgmental, supportive environment.
...a time when nothing is expected of you.
...when you can talk about anything… or not talk if you don’t feel like it.
...me offering you the emotional support you need.
...not me talking about myself or me giving my opinions. This time is for you and about you.
...not me pushing you to talk about unbearable things.
Here are a couple of good resources on 'person-centred' counselling which is my core approach.
We can, with your agreement, also incorporate other approaches in to the work as and when it may be appropriate/beneficial (such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness)
