Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach
Jimmy brings a flexible and compassionate approach to therapy, understanding that each person's journey is unique. Clients can become depressed by situations they find themselves in, anxious about the future or overwhelmed by loss of a loved one or loss of self, relationship issues at home or at work, there are many personal reasons people come to therapy. Often people come to therapy feeling something is not right but they are not sure what it is. Jimmy's approach is rooted in the person centered and holistic models which views each individual as the expert in their own life.
During sessions, Jimmy's warm and engaging holistic view considers the client as a physical, mental, emotional, and a spiritual whole, all of these aspects being considered and respected. Jimmy sees the therapy room as a safe space where clients feel at ease with out judgement to explore the difficulties in their life while being supported by the therapist. Each session is considered with the client in mind. This can be talk therapy, but can also include body awareness, mindfulness practices using the breath or sounds. Art, using themes like drawing life as a river / a dream and practices like the empty chair where clients practice confronting difficult situations to help build confidence.
The role of therapy for Jimmy is to connect the client with their true authentic self and to let go off what is no longer useful or helpful for them, to address what ever issues maybe presenting, and to support the client develop authentically.
