How I work

I am a Person-Centred therapist who provides talking therapy, one-to-one. For many people, the term "Person-Centred" is not something they are familiar with.

​

The best way for me to describe what "Person-Centred" means to me, is that my approach is based on the philosophy that my client is central to the work and I don't analyse or attempt to be an expert on your life. My job is to help you get to know yourself better. I will be compassionate, respectful and curious about how you experience life. I will ask questions and offer non-judgemental observations about what I am hearing.

 

I believe the nature of real change takes place on a deep level and is led by the client themselves. Through being able to explore, without fear of judgement, what is distressing, painful, shameful or deeply buried, a person can begin to free themselves from the pain of past experiences. 

​

You will set the aims of our work together and we will agree what you would like to gain from therapy at the outset.

​

My aim is to help to facilitate a shift in my clients, so positive change is lasting and liberating.

​

"It is the client who
knows what hurts,
what directions to go,
what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried."

Carl Rogers, 1961
