“The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no one recipe for living that suits all cases”

Carl Jung

All our counsellors work to the highest professional standards in accordance with the professional counselling bodies (IACP and IAHIP) guidelines and ethics.  We operate with a mixture of fully qualified counsellors and counsellors in training, this allows us to offer sessions at a lower cost.  This means that some counsellors have achieved their full qualification and others are working towards this.  However, all counsellors attend regular clinical supervision and operate according to FCS guidelines therefore, you can be assured that you are receiving the best care possible.  In addition to this, all counsellors participate in continuous personal and professional development.

There are many therapeutic approaches in counselling and our counsellors will generally work with a variety of these according to the persons needs and preferences. Many work from a humanistic, person-centred approach where the focus is on the personal, subjective experience of the client. The person’s own inner wisdom, freedom, and responsibility for self are regarded as central to the process.

“People need people – for initial and for continued survival, for socialisation, for the pursuit of satisfaction. No one – not the dying, not the outcast, not the mighty – transcends the need for human contact”

Irvin Yalom
