Empathy

I work with you to create a therapeutic relationship, which is the foundation of your counselling journey. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship will help us work towards your goals and successful mental health treatment.

Empathy is at the heart of therapy. It involves understanding another person’s feelings from their perspective. When therapists respond empathetically to clients’ experiences, it fosters solid connections, which are crucial for successful treatment outcomes. (BACP)

Confidentiality

A positive therapeutic relationship is always built on respect – with the counsellor making sure privacy is of the highest priority. At Sense Counselling, you can be sure you enter a space with no judgement and trust that your beliefs are valued.

I always ensure I offer Unconditional Positive Regard, adhering to the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists Code of Ethics, Principles and Values. UPR helps create an environment where you can feel accepted and valued at all times.

Safety

Therapists actively listen to clients, showing genuine interest in their experiences. Active listening promotes understanding and validates clients’ feelings. I walk side by side with my clients to ensure you always feel safe sharing information, feel heard and that I have your best interests at heart.

You need to be confident that the
service you receive will be ethical as well
as effective, which is why trust is so important in the therapeutic relationship. We will work together to build the trust between us during our sessions. We will create boundaries that help keep us safe both inside and outside the counselling environment.
