CORAL AND PEARLS COUNSELLING

APPROACH

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

In my work, I draw on elements from a range of modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Therapy, as well as others.

Rather than rigidly ascribing to any particular approach, I am more concerned with finding interventions that are suited to your specific needs.

COUPLES THERAPY

My work with couples is founded on the approach formulated by the Gottman Institute.

40 + years of research led John and Julie Gottman to develop a method for working with couples to address the core predictors of relationship breakdown. They formulated the ‘Sound Relationship House’, which addresses 9 areas that promote relationship well being, and designed specific interventions to strengthen each of these areas.

A BIO-PSYCHO-SOCIAL-SPIRITUAL APPROACH

For those eager to engage with therapy that speaks more deeply to their spiritual nature, I can adopt a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach, ensuring your spiritual needs are not only recognised but are seen as central to your identity. This isn’t for everyone, but if this speaks to you, let me know and I’ll adjust my approach accordingly.
