VanLieshout Counselling

I know that life is not always easy and sometimes it is hard to get past whatever obstacle is in your way. At VanLieshout Counselling I offer you space to explore what is set on your path, encourage you to find your own answers and a deeper understanding of yourself.

The counselling approach I use is a combination of different talking therapies; my main approach is Gestalt Counselling – a holistic approach integrating mind, body, soul and environment. You, as a whole person, connected within your world. I might invite you to participate in Creative Therapy – don’t worry if you can’t draw or don’t feel creative! It could be as simple as looking at the language you use. I might make use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – working towards accepting what is going on for you and setting achievable goals. I also might use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques – change your thinking can change your behaviour and vice versa. And it will always be based in a Person Centred approach; you decide what you want to talk about, what you would like to work on.

From me, your counsellor, you can expect care, honesty and respect – without judgement – regardless the issue you might be struggling with. If you are suffering from low mood, depression, anxiety, stress… If you have had a bereavement… If you have been diagnosed with a chronic illness… If you want to sort out family or relationship issues… Even if you don’t know exactly what is bothering you… and you would like to talk to someone – please contact me.
