To understand and identify the complex patterns involved in our thoughts and behaviours, limiting ourselves to the labels of perceived symptoms (i.e. diagnoses) blinds ourselves to the true human experience. Through a high degree of curiosity, of intrigue, and of empathy we are able to subvert these expectations together and identify what may otherwise be missed lying just under the surface, the hidden and uncomfortable truths that are causing us distress.This is the strength of a curious approach. Not only do we uncover and address the underlying problems and concerns for the benefit and relief of the client (you), but the counsellor is also invested and intrigued by the discoveries made, by virtue of their own burgeoning curiosity.
