Andrew Brookes
I am comfortable to offer online counselling as an option or alternative for clients. I believe strongly in the accessibility of this setting and making services available. I am happy to meet (online) and discuss individual needs and tailor the therapy accordingly.i am very conscious of security and confidentiality and ensuring safe and ethical working practices.
My approach has become more integrative over time, the basis of my work is Gestalt/ Humanistic but more recently have adopted a more psychodynamic approach whilst working with young people. Some experience of CBT and Solution Focussed therapy. I always try to put the clients needs at the centre of my work and adapt my counselling style and approach accordingly.
I have an interest working with disability and have successfully worked with clients with cerebral palsy and autism.
Young people - I have experience of working for a youth counselling organisation age 11 - 25 and also within a university setting. As well as working with young people in private practice.
