Counselling can include a range of different techniques to help you explore the problems and concerns you may be experiencing. Through expression of your thoughts and feelings in a supportive and non-judgemental environment you'll come to understand more clearly what is happening in the here and now and how you would like things to change. It can be a short-term process that encourages the change of behaviour. Different techniques can inclue person centrered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and Gesalt.
Psychotherapy focuses more on gaining insight into your problems and addresses your thought processes and way of being in the world. Helping you to understand your feelings, thoughts and actions more clearly it is an ideal choice of therapy for people with problems that have built up over a long period of time. It can also aid you in overcoming relationship problems, stress, emotional issues, habits or behaviours. It is a longer course of therapy that enables exploration of deeper issues and work on a more definitive level of consciousness.
Our Counsellors typically use an integrative approach, combining different techniques based on what you, the client need. All our counselors are registerd with either The National Counselling Society (NCS) or British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapists (BACP).
