At Affinity Counselling, I follow a Pluralist framework, which acknowledges different people are helped by different methods at different times. Research shows the most useful therapy is one that fits you. The approach utilises concepts, strategies and inventions from a range of therapeutic perspectives to best suit an individual at that moment. As the client, you are able to guide and collaborate in your own therapy, recognising what is effective by communicating what is helpful, supportive and meaningful to you.

 

At the heart of the approach is an ethic of genuine care for you, your needs and preferences, as well as a commitment by me to create a positive, beneficial therapeutic relationship. It is an approach which places your care and comfort above all therapeutic aims to focus on cooperation, compassionate understanding and support. I have a genuine desire to engage with you in deep respect and kindness, advocating every aspect of your personality. The approach recognises diagnosed conditions and neurodiversity as unique personal qualities which are embraced, appreciated and affirmed.
