Achieve a better understanding of the past and take greater control of your future.
SERVICES
Welcome to Geoff Boutle BACP Accred - Counselling ServicesCounselling provides us with an opportunity to achieve real change in our lives. Although we cannot alter what has already happened to us we can through counselling, improve our understanding of the past, gain insight into the present and take greater control of the future.
About Me I am experienced accredited counsellor trained in a number of different approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Counselling and Brief Solution Focussed Therapy. I work with clients to provide professional support and encouragement to help each individual bring about lasting change.
I encourage clients to take that extra step forward to successfully deal with the difficult problems in their lives. I will work with clients on a range of personal issues including anxiety, anger management, stress, depression, loss of self esteem, eating disorders, abuse, bullying, panic attacks, relationship issues and dealing with loss. I will also support clients who are dealing with difficult issues within organisations and the work place. I work with both individuals and with couples.
It is important that clients are able to explore what will often be difficult and sensitive issues within a secure confidential environment where they feel valued and not judged. I work with clients for either a fixed number of sessions or on an open ended basis. An important part of this work is our initial informal discussion about which technique and which way of working will best fit with the needs of each individual client.
I work under the BACP Code of Ethics to provide counselling services which are supportive and which recognises the challenges clients are facing. I recognise the importance of providing a safe therapeutic environment which will allow clients to work in the way which is most helpful to them.
Counselling & TherapyEvery client is unique as are the challenges which bring individuals into the counselling room. There are also different approaches to counselling work such as:
Time Limited Counselling where client and counsellor decide to meet for a fixed number of sessions agreed at the outset of the counselling work. This work is likely to be short term and may be helpful where there is a very clearly defined problem which the client wishes to address.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or brief solution focussed work, are different forms of therapy which may fit well with this approach.
Open Ended Counselling where there is no fixed date for a final session. That can provide a useful approach where problems may be deep rooted or when there is no obvious focus for the client's concern.
Psychodynamic Counselling which includes looking back at repeating patterns in life can prove to be a helpful form of therapy for this type of work.
What will be common to every approach, is my concern to ensure privacy and confidentiality, to care for your well being and to provide a safe place where you can work on personal issues without feeling judged.
