Humanistic Integrative Counselling

What is Humanistic Integrative Counselling?

Simply put the Humanistic style of counsellor will put you at the centre of your own journey of self-discovery, looking at areas of your life and working together to identify and empower you to find a way forward for yourself, in the understanding that we all have the innate tools to solve our own problems, if only given the right conditions, space and time to do.

The integrative element is the use of a variety of theories and tools at the disposal of the counsellor to offer the best and most effective path for you. This makes each counselling journey unique to the individual.

Neuroplasticity

Anxiety, depression, limiting beliefs, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, anger mis-management, inadequate or erratic weight management… these are all patterns of behaviour that are run from neural pathways; brain cells (neurons) that have become linked together as a result of experience over time.

And yet, our amazing brain has a property known as neuroplasticity; the ability to re-order itself to better suit changing circumstances. The work we do in session will effectively ‘re-wire’ your brain with new, more helpful neural pathways. As you begin to use these new neural pathways, the old, less helpful neural pathways will be dissolved through a natural process called neural pruning.

By working in session with me – and following your agreed plan of challenges and exercises outside of sessions – the changes you seek are assured. Its fun, its engaging – and no surgery required!
