My hope is that my clients feel safe to be vulnerable and use the therapeutic space however they need to. I will do my best to make sure to do everything I can to make that possible.
During my practicum at The Adler Centre I got to explore different approaches and therapeutic methodologies. I learned that at this point in my training there is not one approach I identify with, but many. My style is eclectic which means I mix and match different theories so that they fit my client better. I make sure that if a method or intervention is not working or feeling right for them that we change it up and find what suits them best. With that said, my philosophies around counselling in general are that the client should be met with respect and unconditional positive regard. The counselling space is the one place in the world where there are no rules or judgement and we can say or feel whatever we want to, and that should be cherished and supported
