Counselling Psychology in London

Counselling with Susan

Therapeutic approaches
Would be tailored along the way to suit whatever you might need and prefer, but might include:

• a cognitive behavioural approach (either a specific programme designed to meet your particular needs, or as a more general and active approach to psychological and emotional difficulties)
  
  
• a person-centred approach (when you just want someone to listen to you, carefully, without making judgements or suggestions)
  
  
• a solution-focused approach (to help you work out your own goals, and empower you to take the next steps yourself)
  
  
• some psychodynamic perspectives (a very reflective approach, if you feel that something has special symbolic meaning for you, or if you want to understand more about how your early experiences are making a difference to you now)
