The process of therapy is one of collaboration where a person may talk about whatever is troubling them. The aim is personal growth. To truly be effective, I must discover what makes a person resilient and where their strengths lie. I must also work to understand the factors that contribute to ongoing suffering as well as barriers to growth.
