Underpinning Philosophy

 In his work, Conor is informed by a humanistic and integrative approach. He believes that all individuals seeking therapy have the ability to find their own way forward within the supportive and safe space that the therapeutic relationship can offer. He believes that through sharing and exploring their struggles and blocks with their therapist, that debilitating life issues can be understood in a deeper way, enabling the individual to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life. Conor believes that respect for the individual’s fundamental ability to know and understand themselves, is at the core of humanistic therapeutic work.

Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

Conor draws from person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, gestalt, body-based approaches and art and creative processes. Working with clients in this way can assist them to work through painful feelings towards acceptance, and richer more fulfilling life patterns. Conor provides a non-judgmental, supportive and confidential environment for clients to explore their unique patterns and needs.
