                                            Very few of us know what varying schools of therapy mean,and how that might influence your choice of counsellor . This is a useful article on what Integrative Counselling means . I’d describe myself as Integrative, with a Person Centred Approach to my clients and using my Psychodynamic training  to help my understanding of them. Exploring together the unconscious , bringing consciousness. Unravelling the past to see and understand its effects on the present . To gently respect and understand our defence mechanisms so necessary at the time of their formation, to see how they might not be useful now.
