Theoretical approaches:
My approach to counselling is integrativeIntegrating knowledge and skills from different therapies: integrating the core values and assumptions underlying different approaches to counselling into a meaningful whole that fuses with the counsellor`s own personal values. which means that I draw on various different models including GestaltA German word meaning 'form' or 'pattern': we look for and create meaning (and patterns and structures) in our lives.
In contrast to psychoanalysis and 'talk' therapies, Gestalt emphasises 'awareness of the here and now', of the body, movement, gesture, feelings and insights.
Gestalt therapists generally encourage clients to focus on present experience - thoughts, feeling, sensations, intuitions - rather than 'going off' into thinking about their past or the supposed origins of a particular issue. , person-centredThis approach says we're born with the ability to reach our full potential, but our early experiences may alienate us from our true self.
The therapist seeks to be open and willing to express their own identity without hiding behind expertise or degrees. They also provide other conditions needed for the client's growth:
1) Unconditional positive regard (acceptance and appreciation of the client).
2) Empathic understanding (seeing things through the client's eyes). and cognitive-behavioural therapyFocuses on understanding how our thoughts or beliefs effect our behaviour and the way we feel. approaches, depending on your particular situation and what seems to work best for you.
