What is Person-Centred Counselling?

“Therapy is a gift, it is a chance to finally be heard, understood, and supported.”

Bessel Van Der Kolk

I see person-centred counselling as a trusting and therapeutic relationship, a shared experience, where two people come together as equals in a non-judgemental, confidential and protected environment, giving the client, yourself, the opportunity to explore and process complex emotions, gain clarity, understand your own values and behaviours, feel confident in setting healthy boundaries, work through any past trauma that may be affecting your current day to day life and a build a resilience to handle the challenges of life through empowerment and personal growth.

I feel that the autonomy of the client is extremely important, and I see my role as not advising you, or telling you what to do or how to feel but more to walk beside you, for as many sessions as you need, to champion you, to help you to recognise your thoughts, to manage them and to find your own inner strength and empowerment going forward.

The aim of our sessions is for you to speak freely and openly, as much or as little as you like. At times it may feel painful and my questions may seem tough; this is for us to go deeper and unlock those perceptions for you to grow personally and stronger.

My counselling style is congruent and empathic, non-judgemental, accepting and compassionate, I will always be present, and I will always be myself with you.
