Professional Qualifications, Skills, Specialisms, and Approaches offered
to you by CPMS

Counselling

CPMS counsellors are members of the British Association for Counselling and
Psychotherapy, and adopt the following approach:

• Person-centred, which assumes that you, the client (whether an
  individual or an organisation), knows best.
  
• Listening to your needs and circumstances,
  
• Building a sense of rapport.
  
• Making choices about the future depends on an understanding of:
  
  • Your experience of life;
    
  • The developmental factors that may have shaped and constrained your
    thinking about yourself; and
    
  • How living with uncertainty and the unchangeable things of life can be helpful.
  
  
• Discovering together how your patterns of behaviour, values and beliefs can be brought together.
  
• As well as longer term work, we also offer time-limited therapy to enable you to focus on a more limited range of concerns.

If, at the initial interview, it emerges that a different approach might be helpful for you, the counsellor can help you make contact with an appropriately qualified person.
