Trainee Therapists

I come at counselling from the person-centred approach which means I believe you are the expert on yourself and ultimately trust that you will have the most appropriate insight into the solutions available. I know how challenging that must sound, “why would you need therapy if you had all the answers?” but I believe sitting with someone who supports you in finding the right way for you is a powerful vehicle for change. I have also had further training in a variety of different approaches including solution-focused and CBT approaches though my base approach is always person-centred.

I work with a variety of issues though the majority of clients who come to see me tend to be around relationships (family, friends, partner or workplace), mental health-related issues such as anxiety, stress and low mood or around general development/direction. Some trainee counsellors need to have therapy as part of their course, others find that client work brings up things for them they would like to explore outside of therapy.
