INTEGRATIVE COUNSELLING


This is a flexible counselling approach which recognises that we - and our situations - are all different. It therefore draws on a variety of approaches and helping strategies, according to each individual's or couples' situation, capacity and needs.


Following  years of counselling experience and many additional counselling and related courses, I incorporate psychodynamic, systemic, brief solution-focussed, transactional analysis and  cognitive approaches into my work, as appropriate. 


I  also use cognitive behavioural therapy skills and strategies in my work. (CBT). This is really useful in helping us recognise the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviour, which  then enables us to see and change destructive patterns. This  can greatly improve our relationships, health, well-being and quality of life.
