Using a person-centred approach means that the client is listened to, so that their difficulties are understood in the context of who they are. The therapist is then better able to design CBT interventions to suit the individual. I believe in the effectiveness of brief intervention. As well as being emotionally supportive, therapy can be educational and empowering. During just a few sessions, clients discover much about themselves and gain perspective on their thoughts and behaviour. Through their experience of navigating issues brought to therapy, clients become better prepared to deal with difficulties in the future. I focus on listening to and understanding my clients, helping them through their issues, and nurturing the strength and confidence they need to become independent again.
