What
is Counselling?
“Counselling
is for anyone who wants help at any time, who is unhappy with his or
her present circumstances and hopes for change, or who wishes to make
progress in personal development. Counselling is valuable as an aid to
personal growth, can help to develop assertiveness and self-confidence,
and improve your sense of well being. It is of particular relevance in
times of crisis or transition, and can also be a help in
problem-solving.”
(From the “Guide to Counselling and Therapy”, by the
Irish Association for Counselling and Therapy, Wolfhound, 1991).
Essentially,
the work of Counselling and Psychotherapy is about exploring how we
live our lives. It is about considering our current thinking and
behaviour patterns and working towards new ways of addressing
life. Most importantly, it is about doing that within a
supportive environment.
..... and what of Psychotherapy?
There
is quite a bit of cross-over
between
counselling and psychotherapy. However, psychotherapy is seen as a
deeper way of working with issues - more of a re-working of old,
well-learned habits, patterns and reactions to situations.
While it can take longer, the resultant changes are, also, usually more
long-term.
==============================
How I work:
My training includes a variety of approaches which use cognitive,
behavioural, somatic and unconscious, or subconscious, strategies,
intended to help you identify, understand and re-organise
those
beliefs and behaviours, which have been limiting for you.
My
intention is to present you with the possibility of
having a safe, well-rounded, well-balanced, and fruitful experience of
therapy.
