Counselling and Psychotherapy Approaches [TOP]

The basis of our philosophy is in the respect of the individual. It is in the recognition of diversity that we draw from integrative and Psychodynamic approaches. These theories include Person Centred, Cognitive Behavourial Therapy and Gestalt Transactional Analysis. There is also an opportunity to work creatively through sand & clay.

The first meeting is a time for you and the counsellor or psychotherapist to discuss together whether counselling or psychotherapy will be helpful to you.About Darlington Counselling and Psychotherapy Services (DCPS)
