About Psychotherapy and Counselling
In my counselling practice, I follow an integrative approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based therapies including:
- Existential Therapy – helping clients explore meaning, purpose, and authentic living.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – addressing unhelpful thought patterns and building healthier behaviors.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) – identifying and reframing irrational beliefs.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – fostering mindfulness, acceptance, and value-driven action.
By combining these approaches, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, ensuring practical tools for everyday life while also addressing deeper questions of meaning and growth.
Counselling and therapy provides an opening for us to look at what is that we are experiencing in our lives. We may refer to these experiences as 'depression', 'anxiety', ‘stress’, relationship and sexuality issues, issues of meaning, 'addiction', conflict, spirituality, life transitions, work challenges, redundancy, separation, bereavement, adapting to a new country or location, and family issues.
It also offers us the opportunity to explore new possibilities in our lives and work through how we might create more meaningful ways of living that move us forward.
Continue Reading...Our Way of Working
Our understanding of life is that no one is an expert on living. When we work with a therapist, counsellor or coach, we work with someone we can relate to, who we can connect with, and who we can learn to trust. This, more than any particular approach, technique or ethos, has been recognised, time and again, to be the most important aspect of psychotherapy and counselling. In choosing a therapist therefore, it is imperative that clients ‘shop around’, and find someone that they can feel comfortable with.
The Existential Approach
The existential approach is a truth-seeking method of facing the challenges of living. It is concerned at a fundamental level with what it means to be human and how we could understand human existence.
