Therapy Approach
In counselling people discuss their thoughts and feelings that may be of concern. We explore how these thoughts and feelings impact on them, their partners, families and their work. The objective of the process is to assist people to gain new ways of thinking and behaving. The counselling process helps people to discover ways to replace unhelpful forms of thinking and explore and practice different ways of behaving.
