The main aim of my practice is to allow people to be and become themselves, to enhance their self-acceptance and awareness and harmonise the relationship between themselves and the world. By engaging in a process where empathy, understanding, valuing and authenticity are experienced at high levels, positive transformation tends to take place. Ordinarily this sort of interactivity is rare in people’s lives, yet when a client and skilled therapist work together with focussed attention, life-changing possibilities emerge. Increasingly in my own practice I like to think of myself as ‘people-centred’ because none of us live in isolation (even if we are lonely). I embrace the idea that, as people, we are always belonging to something more than just ourselves, we are never just an individual. Indeed, the process of therapy is not simply a matter of therapist-offered conditions, but one of connection – the client with the therapist creates the therapy interactively and each bring their worlds with them.
