Anthony Trewhitt
Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
Hello, my name is Anthony, and I am an integrative relational counsellor and therapist. This means that I draw on a number of different styles and models of counselling practice to enable my clients to achieve the changes or reach the solutions and goals they may wish to reach within themselves.
I work online, face to face, walk and talk,and I am in the process of creating a retreat for clients to come for more immersive experiences that would include creative work, walk and talk, and the use of nature in general as a tool to re set oneself emotionally.
As we go through life, new experiences and challenges arrive on our doorstep, and it can be difficult to understand our feelings, emotions, and our reactions to these challenges. I am here to help you work through the process of making positive change, learning to understand how the past may be affecting the here and now with you and to help you navigate uncharted waters.
The hub of my practice approach is person-centred, meaning that you, the client is the focus of attention, not myself and theoretical knowledge. The spokes of the wheel in my approach to counselling involves utilising other theoretical models if and when appropriate in meeting your needs within the therapeutic experience. You are the expert on yourself after all.
You will see and hear the term, ‘working together in a pluralistic way’ or ‘working pluralistically together’. What does that mean?
Well simply put, it means we we would work collaboratively and select various methods and styles of therapy and counselling practice, review whether what we are doing together is working for you, and adapt as necessary.
There is a multitude of counselling and therapy approaches, it is about finding what works for you the client, and I as your therapist.
At the end of the day, the most important ingredient in therapy and counselling is the relationship between the client and their chosen therapist.
