My Counselling Philosophy

Home

My Training as a Counsellor was based on the Person Centred approach but have become much more integrative and I consider myself to be a creative therapist. I use Art Therapy, Visualisation, and Gestalt techniques, and maybe Cognitive Behavioural, where appropriate.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics. I am working towards Accreditation and receive regular Supervision. I am also a member of ACTO (see below).

I will keep our communications confidential and any information I hold on you will be kept in a secure place for a limited time only ie the time we are in contact.

I am required by law to report cases of child abuse, but this I would not do without informing you directly before the event.

Remember - If you are in an immediate crisis situation get help immediately - please mailto:jo@thesamaritans.org now and ask for help. The Samaritans website can be found at www.samaritans.org
