Counselling Psychology

COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGy | WIMBLEDON | LONDON

Counselling Psychology is a speciality within applied psychology professions. Counselling psychology differs from other psychology specialties in that it is rooted in humanistic values and draws upon a range of theoretical models to assess and treat client difficulties. Therefore, I do not feel tied to only one therapeutic approach, but I can also integrate techniques and concepts from different ones to create an approach tailored to the clients’ individual needs.

As a counselling psychologist, I work with people at a deep emotional level and often very intensely, creating a warm, safe and understanding relationship. At the same time, I draw on science and research as a way of understating my clients’ difficulties. In my work, I adopt a holistic approach considering the person in a wider context, thus not only understanding the person’s difficulties in terms of psychological mechanisms and processes, but also looking at their socio-cultural context and their experience in the real world that they live in.
