 with the darkness of others"

Personal Philosophy

    

I see counselling & psychotherapy as a journey into our “True Self”. 

I follow the belief that we all strive for happiness, harmony, psychological and physical health. I also believe that we seek inner calmness and tranquility. Sometimes our behaviour and self-care is not conducive to helping us attain this. Through encouragement and a belief in the inner resources we all possess, I believe my clients will discern between behaviours, which are helpful or unhelpful to them. While the therapist cannot  “wave a magical wand” or make the journey for you, they can walk with you and sustain you along your way!!!

   

While we all have the potential to cope with life and our various struggles, in times of crises our natural coping skills can fail or desert us. Within the holistic therapeutic environment we can learn to connect with our inner strength and begin to heal.

"Self Awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as                          life. This is what makes us human"

                               

                                                                  Irvin D. Yalom

 

Personal Philosophy 

 

My philosophy of therapy is that it is a fluid process, ever changing and developing.  While there are many approaches to therapy my way of working is to meet the client where they are in their distress or their cross-road and from there apply an approach which will suit them.  My ethos is firmly grounded in the belief that "We are all individual, each person has their own narrative and they are the authors of their own book".  

 

I believe people have the ability to make lasting changes to their unwanted behaviour and cognitive process. It is the client who makes the changes and sets their goals, I will facilitate the client to take the steps towards their desired way of "being", with the understanding that the client cannot be rushed or judged in any way. 

 

 "This is your path & you decide where you want it to take you"

 

Simone
