How I Work

At KJE Counselling & Psychotherapy, I provide sessions to individuals over 16 years of age, and my work is all rooted in the principles of empathy, understanding, and respect for your unique experiences. The theories I use to support you are integrative and adaptable, and together we will focus on your specific circumstances and goals in a nurturing and secure environment. I encourage this self-exploration and personal development using the following therapeutic approaches:
 
Person Centred Counselling
This approach emphasises your perspective and helps you gain insight into your identity and worldview.
 
Herman's Trauma Model
A structured three-phase method for addressing trauma, focusing on safety, emotional processing, and integration of experiences.
 
Transactional Analysis
This framework examines interpersonal interactions and past experiences to uncover communication patterns and identity issues.
​​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This method investigates the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, aiming to dismantle unhelpful patterns.
​
Creative Therapies
Incorporating art and creative expression to delve into feelings when verbal communication is challenging.
 
Attachment Theory
This approach reflects on childhood attachments to understand current relational dynamics and behaviours.
 
Solution-focused Therapy
Used primarily for brief interventions such as EAP and charity work, ideal for clients seeking quick and effective resolutions.
