Profile

Carmel Cleary Counselling

I am a UKRCP* Registered Independent Counsellor/Psychotherapist

I describe myself as compassionate in my approach to my clients, and conscientious in the time and effort which I take to build confidence and a trusting relationship between us. I am trained in Person Centred counselling, but my training and my developing coursework has given me a strong bias towards Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

I believe that each client is an individual. My aim is to tailor my counselling to suit that individuals needs, offering a warm, caring and non-judgemental attitude. While some clients are better able to work cognitively, having identified their difficulties early in the counselling process, others will need to explore and process their feelings at a pace which is more suited to their individual problems. Whichever path is taken, I recognise that all clients are successfully counselled within the relationship they form with the counsellor

Working from a person centred perspective allows me to help clients to access their feelings and emotions, walking alongside them as they identify and process them.

I am however equally comfortable working at a cognitive level for issues such as anxiety, depression and anger management identifying the clients thoughts and beliefs helping the client to redirect his thinking patterns that otherwise keep him locked into dysfunctional moods and behaviours.

I have for some time worked with adults who have been sexually abused as children, and I am equally interested in counselling those who are burdened with anxiety and depression.

My consultations take place in the tranquil surroundings of The Cottage Therapy Centre, Kenilworth.
