How Counselling can help you?
Counselling for adults.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unhappy or be experiencing stressful life changes that have brought up new difficulties or long-standing anxieties. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can work together to explore and make sense of your feelings, consider your choices, develop new perspectives on the past and build your resilience and resources.
As an integrative therapist, my training and background allow me to be flexible and draw on a diverse range of theoretical approaches to meet my clients’ individual needs, enabling insights and positive change. Trust, empathy and collaboration are the cornerstones of my work.
I can help with the following:
Depression.
Anxiety.
Anger.
Trauma.
Bereavement.
Counselling for young people.
Counselling can require a different approach for young people. Research has shown that some teenagers do not like the long silences in counselling sessions. They (and some adults) can find sitting down face to face with a therapist a very tense situation and can find it hard to engage with the process.
It is a high priority for a strong, genuine and trusting relationship to be established as a foundation for effective therapy to stand on. This can be achieved by starting initial sessions in a number of ways: listening to music, art, journaling, video games, walking, sport or any interest that the teenager has. Taking part in an activity which takes some focus directly off the young person so they can choose to gradually engage with the therapist.
It is also of great importance to allow the client to have some degree of control within sessions. This can be done by the therapist supporting the young person and facilitating a choice of what and when they want to talk about sensitive subjects and collaborate to find what works best for them.
Counselling young people can be different to adults as they are in the process of developing emotional/intellectual maturity. My approach is to build the therapeutic alliance through activity, integrate therapeutic work into conversation (at initial stage) and add elements of psycho education so that the client can make sense of emotions/feelings and use this knowledge to better navigate their life.
My name is Hugh Farrelly (MA) and I am an integrative Counsellor. I have been in private practice for 4 years and have over 16 years experience working in education in a helping/psychological capacity. I work with men and women of all ages for a wide variety issues. I truly believe that the process of counselling can help navigate challenges that life throws at us. I draw on many different types of therapeutic schools of thought to develop an approach that focuses on the client.
