Analytical Counselling & Supervision.
I offer and specialise in personal therapy sessions for clients in counselling and clinical supervision for counsellors and therapists. I can offer clinical supervision, Couple Counselling sessions, EAP and Telephone and or Skype based sessions.
I have over 30 years clinical experience working with multi-disciplinary teams specialising in trauma, addiction and complex clinical cases. Each session both counselling and analytical psychotherapy and clinical supervision focuses upon the clients process and aims to enlighten and facilitate personal growth, empowerment, insight and awareness around any issue they may need help with.
My approach in working with individuals is gentle, psycho-educational, psycho-analytical, humanistic and explorative to help each client that I work with gain the required insight and awareness and skills so they can focus on what it is that they need to work through and or resolve.
I am trained in both humanistic person-centred approach and psychoanalysis; from a psychoanalytic approach the two main pillars of psychoanalysis are the unconscious and sexuality; from a humanistic approach the core conditions are unconditional positive regard, being non-judgmental, congruence and empathy. I firmly believe that both approaches can work in eclectic harmonic mix in helping the client to gain the knowledge and work through the emotions that might require venting.
