In line with the evidence (Wampold, 2015), mine is a feedback oriented approach which is collaborative, individualised (based on case formulation not diagnosis); strength based; and goal oriented. Through the primary intervention of attentive listening my aim is to help people to know who they are, and why they do and feel the things that they do. The better we understand ourselves, the more free we will be to live a life that's more closely aligned to our beliefs values and aspirations.
Therapy may be brief, or long term, as appropriate.
