What is Holistic Counselling?

Overview of Approach
As a mental health professional, my aim is to provide a safe, welcoming and confidential space in
which we can work together to explore the reasons you have come to counselling. Those reasons
vary from person to person and may include, anxiety, grief, loss, stress, depression, relationship
issues, difficulty with trust, trauma, low self-esteem or coping with change.
Together, we will look at these issues and learn to break free of limiting patterns and beliefs that
may be holding you back. I work with various psychotherapeutic approaches including person-
centred, CBT and psychodynamic, depending on the individual needs of the client. Taking a holistic
approach to well-being, elements of energy healing, family constellation work and mindfulness may
also be incorporated.
I am not here to give you answers or solutions, but rather, to help you come to know, trust and
believe in yourself and in your capacity to connect to the innate wisdom that lies within you. We will
draw on your strengths and talents and help you develop strategies that you can use on a daily basis
to help bring more ease, peace and joy into your life.
‘If you allow yourself to be the person you are, then everything will come into rhythm.’ John
O’Donoghue
