Psychotherapy
Most people find that being taken seriously, heard and acknowledged by another human being is very powerful.
Psychotherapy offers you a safe and confidential space to talk about your life and anything that may be confusing or uncomfortable, with someone who has no preconceptions of who you are.
The therapist's skills and training can guide you through your concerns, help you overcome pain and move towards more fulfilment.
Supervision
Reflective practice is essential to the work of therapists as they are the 'instrument' of their trade and need fine-tuning.
The ability to reflect and to undertake accurate self-appraisal implies a capacity both to be open to experience while it is happening, and to review – and learn from - experience after it has occurred.
Reflective practice and supervision promote
compassionate, ethical and humane engagement with the work and its moral dilemmas.
Providing a relationship which the person
may use for their own personal growth
