I am a qualified counselor who is able to use various methods to address issues such as: DepressionAnxietySexual AbuseSupport for Family/Carers of people affected by alcohol addictionAlcohol AddictionDomestic AbuseParents whose children have had social services involvementCouples counselling Using various skills which is known in the counseling field as working "intregaratively" means that I use a range of skills according to the problems and the person, taking the most effective parts of a number of approaches such as: * Person-Centred Counseling * Cognitive Behavioural Therapy * 5 Step Family Support (supporting family members or significant others to manage dealing with someone who has alcohol addiction) * Brief Solution Focus Therapy With a view to applying those counseling approaches to help you to look at your life from a different perspective. As "one size does not fit all" hence people are individual and experience situations differently from others, even if it may seem as though it is the same issue.

My responsibilities were integrative to support my clients either reduce their drinking or be abstinent through brief solution focused and motivational interviewing help client set goals and self-motivate. Counselling was using when I was employed as a counsellor which was throughout my period with ARP as different times when clients had they drinking under control and were ready to address in depth underlining issues that may have or will impact on their sobriety. The counselling approach was and is Person Centre but due to time frame will intregrative other models to be effective. To support family members or significant others I would offer 5 Step Family Support that was focused on self and putting in place boundaries and educate on addiction. Care plan's would be done to encourage the client to take responsibility for their care and set SMART goals.Obviously, keeping notes and data was via package call Links was used and would be updated daily.
