Pluralistic Counselling

There are many different types of counselling, the difference with pluralism is that it is based on the idea that clients are all individuals and therefore as a pluralistic counsellor I have been trained in multiple modalities and do not just use one modality. We can work together in a way that is best suited to you and you will be involved at every stage as I believe you are the expert in your own life. The focus will be on achieving the goals you wish to achieve and doing that in a way which uses your existing strengths and resources. Ways that we might work:

Collaboration- solving problems together

Acknowledging diversity and uniqueness

Developing awareness

Looking at patterns and stories in your life

Developing compassion and challenging critical thoughts

Looking the different parts which make up who you are

Looking to understand the messages you have picked up in early life which may no longer be serving you

Developing the skills to regulate emotions

Identifying your needs and figuring out how to get them met

Communication skills

Indentifying what is keeping you stuck and working to get over these barriers
