¨ The approach to adult counselling is integrative.
¨ A person-centred beginning will lead to other approaches as appropriate in the circumstances.
¨ The aim will be to work alongside the client in order to proceed at his/her own pace towards the goals we identify together.
¨ This may involve work on attachments and
relationships, bereavement issues, other losses
such as jobs and divorce, the effects of physical
trauma or ill-health on the person, and many other
issues which are to do with feelings, values,
beliefs, understanding and behaviour.
¨ Methods used may involve creative use of pictures, writing drama etc.
¨ With children and young people, (and sometimes
with adults who have problems relating in an adult
way because of trauma in their childhood years)
we are able to use a specially designed playroom
to incorporate painting and sand play as well as
many other creative methods.
