I am interested in each client and what their needs may be. I can be supportive and am curious about how a client views their issues. Working with the client on finding what changes or additions they may try to help them feel better is the most important goal.
I am eclectic, using any approach that fits the client's needs and personality. The basis is psychodynamic, reality therapy, solution focused along with CBT and other interventions that are needed to help the client resolve their issues.
The goals of the initial session is to find out what the client expects out of the therapy process. Collaborating with the client about what they want to achieve in the process is the priority initially.
