F Smith Counselling

I BEGAN MY DEVELOPMENT DURING 1998
It is essential as part of my Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in psychotherapy, to regularly update and add to my skills and knowledge through specialist training courses and conferences


What is Integrative Counselling?
As individuals, we all think, feel and react in many different ways to life’s problems. As an Integrative psychotherapist , I adapt with each client to produce a unique therapy to suit my client’s needs, drawing on my knowledge and skills from Person-Centred and Psychodynamic theory.

Person-Centred Counselling
Offers a supportive, non-judgemental relationship between client and counsellor based in the here and now, to enable an understanding from a clients perspective. Great value is placed upon the client enabling the person to feel accepted and better understand their own feelings.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy 
Focuses on a person's unconscious thoughts and feelings, and works to bring these to the surface. Memories of early relationships are used to make sense of current concerns. By helping the client to explore how the past has negatively influenced them, they may begin to recognise repeating patterns in their relationships.
