Person-centred

Our person-centred approach is, at all times, working to maintain the Rogerian “core conditions” of: 

• Empathy – we strive to understand the world from our client’s perspective. To understand the client’s experience “as if” it was our own. 
• Unconditional positive regard – we strive to create an environment of genuine acceptance where clients can explore their own thoughts without fear of judgement.  Ironically, accepting people as they are is the very thing that motivates them to change. 
• Congruence – signifies the alignment between an individual's self-perception and their actual thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The therapist's genuine expression of emotions and thoughts creates a trusting atmosphere that encourages clients to also be authentic. This harmony fosters authenticity and self-awareness, contributing to personal growth and psychological well-being 

Evidence Based

• Utilizing a wide variety of evidence-based strategies we create individualised treatment plans and intervention strategies based on client need, personal goals and values. 
• Our approach rests upon the assumption of human beings as evolved social primates and understands human behaviour through the lens of evolutionary psychology. 
• Our Person-Centred approach maintains a particular emphasis on issues related to the sense of meaning and purpose in life. 
• Typically, sessions utilize interventions informed by DBT, CBT and ACT. 
• We also utilize a variety of other methods including informed by psycho-dynamics, Narrative therapy, Brief Solution focussed therapy, motivational interviewing, EFFT, Red Path, Exposure therapy and Logo therapy.
