APPROACH

My approach is integrative, combining different therapeutic techniques to offer the most effective support.

In my practice at Caring Hearts Counselling, I use a variety of evidence-based methodologies tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. 

Each of the below methodologies is selected and adapted to suit your individual needs and preferences, ensuring a personalised and effective counselling experience.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Focusing on mindfulness and behavioural changes, ACT helps in accepting what is out of personal control, while committing to action that improves and enriches life.

Person-Centred Therapy

Person-Centred Therapy

This approach is based on providing empathy and unconditional positive regard, empowering individuals to realise their true potential in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

<div>Motivational Interviewing<br></div>

Motivational Interviewing

A collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change, ideal for overcoming ambivalence.

Christian Counselling

Integrating faith and spirituality, this method provides support and guidance that aligns with your Christian values and beliefs.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Concentrating on what clients want to achieve rather than on the problem(s) that made them seek help, SFBT is goal-directed and future-focused.
