Counselling Bournemouth  

Our approach to counselling  

Firstly, our approach at the beginning will be to sit with you and listen, let you offload any issues you may be having and decide together how we can start the road to recovery. It is important to mention that there will only ever be comfort and understanding returned back to you, making it our goal as a team to get through these times. Taking our hand on your journey will provide support and comfort, no matter the issue we are here for you. 

What are the different types of Counselling?

This approach uses a mixture of Humanistic Therapies and other training such as Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis

This approach focuses on personal development where the therapist will share their own experiences. The Humanistic approach will include Gestalt, Person-centred, Existential and Core Process

This approach focuses on overcoming negative thoughts patterns that can lead to much unhappiness. CBT can be very effective for Depression, anxiety, panic attacks and eating disorders

This approach focuses on underlying causes for distress, such as family, childhood and school experience. It allows the client to explore past issues in depth

This approach includes styles such as Jungian and Psychosynthesis, which sets out to involve the whole person focusing on their emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The aim is to encourage personal growth and creativity. There is much more of a spiritual focus than in most other forms of counselling.
