Linda Edwards

Profile

I am an experienced Adlerian counsellor, supervisor and trainer of counsellors.
I work out of the Adlerian Counselling Centre which has light airy premises in the town of Narberth, Pembrokeshire.

I also work with CBT and Person-Centred approaches and all my work is done within the BACP ethical framework.
You are welcome to come for a first session and see if the venue and the approach suits you. Counselling is a very personal thing and it has to feel 'right' to both the client and the counsellor.

Further Information

Adlerian Counselling has been successfully applied in many situations - bereavement, divorce, family issues, pressures of work, bullying, depression and eating disorders etc. The psychologist Alfred Adler ( 1870-1937) believed that as children, because of our smallness, lack of knowledge and experience, we develop feelings of inferiority living in an adult world. As we grow up, both in size and skill, for many of us those feelings of inferiority disperse in time- until the pressures of life overwhelm us. When this happens we mentally revisit our childhood feelings and find it difficult to review or consider the full range of options open to us to solve the problem that confronts us. We get stuck! Adlerian counsellors help clients by looking at their early memories before the age of 7 and working skillfully with these memories about family, brothers and sisters etc. Adler made the point that our memories are selective.Out of the thousands of memories we could have chosen to recall, we actually remember only a few and these have been selected because they are important subconscious prompts for the way we develop our view of ourselves and the world around us. To understand our inner psychological journey gives insight into why we act and feel the way we do and that insight becomes the springboard for personal change.
