Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy
I have a successful Counselling Private Practice, running now for some nine years, seeing individuals with a myriad of issues that life can throw at us.
Person Centred Training enables me the luxury of feeling capable and comfortable with any and every issue of life.
If I have any tendency or leaning to any specific expertise it would be around dysfunctional eating patterns.
Having run groups of women with weight issues and therefore eating problems in the last seven years, I am able to facilitate better eating habits and therefore a less fluctuating weight management.
Although it is not necessary to take everything back to childhood, many a life issue has some anchorage from our past. Sexual abuse and anger around this has been a presenting issue for many clients that have been to my practice, and stress along with depression is around for almost all people that wish to attend counselling.
As a Member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy
Fundamentally my approach as a therapist is Person Centred, a school of therapy founded by a man called Carl Rogers, also known as Rogerian Therapy.The core belief of this school of therapy is that the client is able to bring to the session anything of their life that is an issue for them. There is no specific direction taken and not necessarily continuity from one session to the next. The important issue is that the client is able to feel that she/he connects with the therapist by sharing whatever they deem important to them. So the sessions are completely unconditional!
There is no specific direction to take, or follow, as this would be `Directing` and `Enforcing` the client to look at something he or she is not ready, comfortable or even able to address, for reasons of overwhelming discomfort. Hence I believe this type of therapy is truly a very 'Unconditional' and 'Real' type of counselling!
Building on this foundation I also am able to use a therapy called Transactional Therapy which is more theory based and believes that we as people have many different `sides` to ourselves, and depending on what the situation is that we find ourselves in, we will react in a certain type of way. This can give cognitive clarity, understanding, to the client who often wants to at least understand what is going on for themselves even if they are unable to change it for the meantime.
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that is very well known of in society today affords the client an insight into how they think and therefore what their behaviour is driven by, as this school believes it is our thoughts that give us our behaviour.
Although we are as people the product of all our experiences it would be easy to make the glib comment that we need to look into our past to understand a lot of our today. However there are levels at which clients want to work from so as a fundamental Person Centred Therapist it is not necessary to have to work from anywhere in particular. The ART of the sessions and the client is that the belief is in what is being presented is the best issue to analyse.
The client is not alone anymore.
