I am in the process of completing my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and children. I work in an integrative manner, always assessing my client's experienced difficulties and then working collaboratively to explore how we can best support the individual, helping them achieve their goals and discover how they can create the type of life experiences they would like, focusing on their mood, thoughts, and relationships.
I believe the first step to supporting a client, is ensuring you can understand their difficulties and empathise with the challenges they are currently experiencing. You can then work with the client, to explore/ overcome these feelings, develop coping mechanisms together and continue to grow throughout the sessions.
