Most of us will experience a time in our lives when we feel stuck, have lost our meaning, question the point and purpose to our existence, struggle with past experiences, find it hard to maintain relationships, struggle with stress or become overwhelmed by life events. Although I practice Humanistic/Existential counselling, I believe that all approaches to counselling can provide important and helpful therapy for your problems. Listed below are the common approaches you’re likely to encounter and a summary of how they work. Counselling is a very personal choice and if you don't find what you are looking for straight away do not be put off from shopping around until you find a counsellor who’s effective for you.
