Come to a peaceful setting where the supportive presence of animals in my counselling/ equine-assisted therapy sessions is particularly conducive to helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. For clients leading hectic lives, they find space to become calmer and more reflective, whilst for those who are lonely, hurt or bereaved they experience a warm, reparative relationship. The comforting presence of animals makes my therapy particularly accessible to young people, helping to overcome any barrier that clients may feel about sharing painful feelings or experiences, helping to build a collaborative relationship.

I am a passionate Clinical Psychologist with over 17 years clinical experience, dedicated to providing support for children, young people and adults with Autism. I provide a holistic solution, working with family members, professionals and schools as needed. I understand the importance of offering support in a timely manner, to address difficulties early on before they escalate. I know that there is a long wait for Autism assessments at present, and I don't believe that anyone should have to wait to access support in the meantime, which is why I can also work with individuals prior to diagnosis.

Strength-Based Counsellors

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
