THERAPY OCEAN

I believe the essence of counselling is to help others make a success of their lives. As such I offer a safe, empathic and non-judgemental space for us to work together to achieve this... At the core of my practice is a belief in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and I count among my primary influences Humanistic and Psychodynamic theory. But what I bring to the therapy is guided by the clients' needs and individual psychological perspective. As such it is a client led process. I work with my clients to identify the areas that they particularly want to address and to identify the approach that they feel would be the most useful and meaningful to them... Sometimes just having someone who has set aside the time to listen and empathise can be the most useful therapy, but often I find that an understanding of childhood attachment and developmental stages and how they colour our everyday lives, provide useful insight, as does the application of mindfulness practise to help..
