I am a practitioner of person-centred therapy. Person-centred counselling is one of the humanistic modalities or approaches. A person-centred therapist believes that, given the right conditions, a person can reach their full potential and become their true self, which he termed ‘self-actualisation’. This actualisation process is innate and accessible to everyone.

To help you achieve self-actualisation, the person-centred therapist will offer:

unconditional positive regard (UPR) – accepting and valuing you
congruence – being honest and transparent in how they experience you and your world
empathic understanding – seeing your viewpoint as if they were you

Based on my experience in education and work with families, it is clear that one of my strengths is my ability to come alongside families and help them work through difficulties to find a resolution. Through my years of experience, I have developed strong communication and interpersonal skills that allow me to build rapport with families and create a safe space for them to share their concerns. I may also have a talent for active listening, which enables me to understand the root causes of any issues and identify potential solutions that can work for everyone involved. Additionally, my extensive experience in education has given me a deep understanding of child development and family dynamics, which can be invaluable in helping families navigate challenging situations. Overall, I believe my strengths in this area make me a valuable resource for any family seeking support and guidance.

Many clients, with no prior knowledge of counselling, believe that the counsellor will sort their problems out for them. A person-centred counsellor will help you to explore your own issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and achieve greater independence.

During our sessions, I will help you to realise what resources and support are available to you that you can use to work through your own issues, build your self-confidence and appreciate that you always have options. I will treat you as the expert on yourself, as no-one else knows exactly what it’s like to be you.

I will not judge you, no matter what you bring to the session. This helps build a trustworthy relationship in which you can feel free and supported to disclose whatever is troubling you. Eventually it will lead you to discover your own abilities and autonomy, so that you can cope with current and future problems.
