Not all counselling is the same. There are a number of approaches. Listening Ear’s counsellors sometimes specialise in one, or they may use an integrated approach. This brings different approaches together into one supportive pathway.

When you are referred for counselling and we undertake an assessment, we use the information that you provide us with to allocate a counsellor to you who will deliver an approach that’s best suited to your needs.

Here are some of the approaches that our counsellors may use in sessions:

Person Centred Counselling+
Solution Focused Therapy+
Systemic+
Mindfulness+
CBT+
Integrative+
EMDR+
