About me and my therapy practice
My name is Steve and I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor based in the county of Dorset in the UK.
I am registered with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ( British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists).
I offer individual counselling face to face( in the room), walk and talk therapy and telephone counselling, operating from a safe environment where everyone is welcome.
Sessions are 50 minutes and continue weekly for as long as you feel you need support.
Practice description
I work from home in an outdoor office space, quiet and comfortable. I operate in the same space for telephone sessions.
My work is client-focussed. As an Integrative Counsellor, my theoretical approach draws from Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Transactional Analysis. The reality is that I see and fully accept you for who you are, the whole of you, without judgement; with empathy, integrity and respect.
My first session
First sessions can be a daunting prospect for anyone beginning something new, whether it is a first time visiting a therapist, or you have had a lot of experience of counselling.
You will be made to feel very welcome and given as much space and time as you need to talk, and to go at your own pace. A first session can feel overwhelming for some, and that's perfectly fine. The most important thing is that you have made the first step on your journey.
