Counseling Approach Using an Eclectic approach I use both Behaviour and Humanistic

Therapies as strongly believe in the principle that behaviour is learnt,

and can therefore be unlearnt, or reconditioned, I concentrate on the

'here and now' without focusing on the past to find a reason for the

behaviour.

CBT which breaks overpowering problems into smaller parts to make

them easier to deal with defined as thoughts, emotions, physical feelings

and actions. This practical therapy works best treating a specific issue a

The Humanistic therapy which I use are

Client-Centred, Gestalt Therapy and Existential therapy.

By using Client-Centred therapy able to develop towards their full

potential inevitably blocked by life experiences, This enables them to

experience and accept more of who they are as a person, and

reconnect with their own values and sense of self-worth.

Also utilize Gestalt Therapy applying on the whole experience of the

client, their thoughts, feelings and actions, and concentrating on the

'here and now' - what is happening from one moment to the next.

Existential therapy which favours the idea that the client is directly

responsible for his own life, over the idea of meaningful existence of

certain issues through a philosophical perspective, instead of a

technique-based approach.
