New Horizons Counselling Highland

I am trained as a person-centred counsellor. In the person-centred approach we believe that the attitudes of genuineness, empathy and unconditional positive regard shown towards a client in therapy can bring about positive change. My intention is to treat any client as an individual with unique needs and goals. In other forms of therapy, the counsellor or clinician may seen as the expert who diagnoses the patient and tells them what to do. Person centred therapy puts the client much more in the “driving seat” with the client regarded as the one who ultimately has the answers. It is the counsellor’s job to help the client find these answers.

I am a fully qualified counsellor who provides a safe place where clients can talk and just be – there is no pressure or expectation. My aim is always to treat clients fairly and without judgement; to listen with compassion and to respond honestly and empathically to what I hear. I know that many people experience an immediate sense of relief on talking about their issues and concerns with the realisation they are not alone. As the work develops here will be opportunity to work through and resolve complicated feelings, and to recognise unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour. When the client is ready we can work together on identifying goals and developing a plan for a healthy fulfilled life.
