Our Approach to Therapy and Counselling

A Positive and Proactive Approach to Psychotherapy

Our approach to therapy and counselling is a collaborative approach which is client directed and goal oriented:

  • We acknowledge and validate the feelings and stories of the people with whom we work.
  • We focus on successes and what is working.
  • We provide you with interventions to enhance your strengths, abilities and personal resources.
  • We also encourage you to look at preventative steps that can be taken to enhance your well-being and help you to take charge over your life.

We value stories of the past, but our focus is on the present and creating your preferred future. Meeting together and engaging in collaborative conversations is a sign of strength that can lead to greater self awareness and provide the opportunity for self reflection. Our aim is to take a proactive stance and minimize the health consequences of stress and anxiety.

We combine a variety of therapeutic approaches including:

  • Solution Focused Therapy
  • Emotion Focused Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • EMDR
  • Life Coaching
