Therapy
The counselling approach
Person centred approach is a type of non-directive therapy and a client’s own thoughts and feelings lead the sessions.
Although I follow a person-centred approach, I may incorporate a variation of theories and techniques based on the principle that ‘one size does NOT fit all’ – Because we are individuals – and I can enable you to optimise the possibility to create change.
What I offer:
A free 30 minute online video introductory session
This allows us to meet and make sure I am the right counsellor for you. You can get a feel for me and how I work and see if this is the right fit for you. If it’s not, that is completely ok and it is important we click as sessions are very much about the relationship.
Sessions for Young People
I have experience with young people and will work with people from the ages 14 upwards. We can work creatively to enable them to feel comfortable expressing themselves to release what is bothering them.
Standard Counselling Session
This is in a counselling room, with just us. We can work creatively in a way that suits you on any past or present issues that may be causing distress. I hope to empower you to find your inner strength for a more positive outcome and discover what works for you.
Online Counselling session
Where ever you are based across the UK or further I can offer online video therapy sessions.
Animal Assisted Therapy Sessions
Counselling in a therapy room with Mali present to ease the anxiety and enable you to focus on the dog rather than me. This can help you to talk about some of the more difficult things you have experienced. Mali offers 100% confidentiality, warmth and regulation
Walk and Talk – with or without dog
Obviously, this is weather-dependent, but I’m happy to walk in the wind and rain if you are. This could be just us, or Mali could join us, providing something to focus on during the walk session. The therapy room can feel a little clinical, and having a walk in the elements can feel freeing and invigorating. Newquay’s stunning coastline can sometimes provide appreciation, perspective, and even healthy coping strategies in times of stress.
