Abigail
Founder & Counsellor
Training
BA (Hons) in Counselling Solutions
Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
Certificate in Counselling Studies Certificate in Counselling Skills
I am an Integrative Counsellor.
What does 'Integrative' mean? This means that I can alter my way of working to better suit my client's personal needs. Working this way means that I can bring different skills and theories into session that I feel my client may benefit from rather sticking to just one counselling theory. I believe that a counselling journey needs to as unique as the person embarking on it.
I fully qualified as a counsellor back in 2019 since then I have been able to work with a range of different issues from but not limited to depression, anxiety, stress, grief, bereavement, abuse and relationship issues.
Lauren
Art Psychotherapist
My approach to art therapy is psychodynamic, which is based on the view that our past experiences influence our present behaviours, attitudes and reactions. It focuses on the unconscious and aims to support clients to gain insight and awareness to understand why they behave a certain way. This can help people to understand themselves to aid recovery and support improved self-esteem, confidence and self-worth. I am outcome focussed and aim to help my clients reach their therapeutic goals through art therapy directives and focussed sessions.
I offer face to face sessions in Barnsley and remote online art therapy via Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Skype.
