Margaret Mcginn Therapy

Originally trained as a Person Centred Counsellor and to Certificate Level in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. As a result of ongoing training, I have adopted an integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy. This allows me to blend a variety of approaches together in a single framework. It also means that I can offer you a choice of either short-term or long-term therapy solutions. Person/Client-Centred Therapy. Devised by Carl Rogers, this therapy is based on the idea that a client enters into a relationship with the counsellor where the client is allowed to freely express any emotions and feelings. This enables the client to come to terms with the negative feelings that may have caused emotional problems, and develop personal skills. The objective is for the client to become able to see themselves as a person with power and freedom to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This type of therapy combines cognitive and behavioural techniques. Clients are taught ways to change thoughts and expectations, with the use of relaxation techniques. CBT has been effective for stress-related ailments, phobias, obsessions, eating disorders, and major depression (sometimes when combined with drug treatment).
