Approach: My therapeutic approach is firmly rooted in the Person-Centred philosophy developed by Carl Rogers. I believe that every individual possesses the inherent ability to understand themselves and make positive changes when provided with a supportive and accepting environment. I focus on building a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship, fostering an atmosphere where clients feel valued, heard, and understood.
Ethics: Ethical practice is a cornerstone of my counselling work. I prioritise confidentiality, respect, and the autonomy of each client. I regularly engage in supervision and continuing education to ensure that my practice remains in alignment with the highest ethical standards and current research.
