COUNSELLING
Counselling means that a counsellor/therapist sees a client in a private and confidential setting to explore a difficulty the client is having or distress they may be experiencing. It is always at the request of the client themselves as no one can properly be 'sent' for counselling. More details about therapy such as timescales, challenges and our first meeting can be found by clicking through to my .What Counselling Means. page. For answers to common queries I receive, please read the .Frequently Asked Questions. people ask.
GOALS
The primary goals of humanistic therapy are increased self-esteem and a greater openness to new experiences. The related changes that this form of therapy seeks to foster in clients include: lowering levels of defensiveness, guilt and insecurity; helping promote more positive and comfortable relationships with others; and an increased capacity to experience and express feelings at the moment they occur.CBT techniques can aid in recognizing and changing unhelpful thought patterns or those coping mechanisms that stem from past experience, as well as helping clients come to terms with traumatic life experiences.
