I am Terry: Kind, Sensitive, Compassionate, Intuitive, Fair, Resilient and Courageous.Here I am, without judgement or criticism; a human, offering space to another with compassion, honesty, empathy and care.An Integrative Humanistic Counsellor offering a safe supportive space for inner self discovery and healing. My experience as a HCPC State Register Occupational Therapist and additional training as a Counsellor enables me to work in a variety of ways to support, explore and discover meaningful fulfilment holistically in life and functional activity.See my website for further details about how I work.My counselling training is in humanistic and integrative psychotherapy based on Clarksons Systemic Integrative Psychotherapy Model.Humanistic: suggests that when we experience empathy and unconditional positive regard and the therapist is congruent, in other words aware within him or herself of what s/he experiences and prepared to communicate this when necessary, then we will naturally heal, grow and discover our unique potential.Integrative: means that a variety of therapeutic approaches and ideas are known and so the therapist can sensitively adapt to the needs of each individual.By using the systemic integrative psychotherapy model, my belief is that the relationship between therapist and client is as important as the type of therapy practised. It is often within relationships, as children with our parents and with significant people throughout our lives, that emotional injury occurs, and it is within the relationship with the therapist that these injuries can surface and be resolved.I am also very influenced by my Barefoot Practitioner Training (www.livingtao.co.uk) and breathwork. These approaches have much in common with mindfulness, living in present moment and viewing the body as integral in working with emotional difficulties. It is my belief that this is where the healing process of energy healing can enable a shift in work done through talking therapy.
