Individual Counselling & Psychological Therapy

Working together
and using reflective practice

Exploring issues in therapeutic sessions involves delving into your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to gain a deeper understanding of your concerns.

We will work collaboratively with you to identify the most suitable treatment approaches. At times, we may utilise psychological assessments to better understand your specific challenges and their potential causes. We will utilise active listening, open-ended questions, reflective response, exploring your emotions, identifying recurrent themes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that can shed light on underlying issues, and exploring past experiences.
