with Shona Elliott

Through the counselling process you will be supported and guided toward emotional health. The cornerstone of my work is encouraging my client’s growth of awareness through the therapeutic relationship. My primary tool is Gestalt Therapy, and I utilize interventions appropriate to you and based in proven research. For more information about Gestalt Therapy as a counselling modality please click here. Alongside many years studying and practising Gestalt Therapy I include other modalities including:

• Internal Family Systems Therapy
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Narrative Therapy
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

I tailor an intervention to your needs in the present, to help you discover, accept and express yourself authentically. Therapy is a safe tool with which to understand ourselves, deepen our presence and evolve from past limiting patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. It can be a short or longer journey and I warmly welcome a pre-appointment discussion with you to answer questions about me and/or about the work you wish to undertake.
