I believe that there are numerous factors that come together to create mental health and emotional difficulties for people. My work includes looking at the history, the previous experiences, trauma events, family support (or lack of), and the cognitive processes and developments that can lead to disease and mental health difficulties. My work therefore takes a holistic approach to working with clients so that they can get a better and wider understanding as to the roots of their issues, and to then feel empowered enough to use some of the practical tools that I bring with my work. The key here is to also ensure their motivation and to build a strong working and therapeutic alliance with them. I can integrate my counselling skills and my hypnotherapy and associated CBT skills into my work, and this adds value to my therapeutic work. I also ensure that my work explores the physical impacts from mental health difficulties and the two go hand in hand in keeping up and maintaining difficult mental health difficulties. My work is person-centred, is based on clients finding their own solutions and where this is difficult, working with them through the tool-box of practical exercises that resonate with them. You are - ultimately - the creator of your personal narrative and with that, your own unique set of thoughts, feelings and experiences.
