Rebecca White

Pluralistic Counselling starts from a simple belief: that every person needs their own unique approach. Being pluralistic means we can work with Cognitive Behavioural techniques, with a Person Centered attitude and Psychodynamic curiosity. CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy works on looking at your behaviour and what has shaped it. How do your expectations shape your internal workings. Action, Beliefs, Consequence. We start to unpick the automatic negative thoughts to retrain your brain to new positive ones. Works in the future, looking at real time belief systems, suited to short term therapy, favoured by the NHS. Doesn’t look in to why those beliefs exist. Psychodynamic Approach - often seen as something very freudian, this approach actually helps us pick apart, understand and get to befriend the internal world. Understanding that your experiences shape you, how we conform to archetypes and Internal Family Systems aka Parts Work can help us gain control over all the voices in our heads. Psychodynamic operates on the premise that unconscious processes and early childhood experiences drive current behaviour and emotional distress. This looks to the past for answers. Person-Centred - Lets you speak and explore anything and everything you want to. No direction, just witnessing what is with you during the session. Rebecca stays with you the whole time, summerising, reflecting and paraphrasing so you can witness your own internal world, gain insight into your own thoughts and behaviours, clarify emotions, and move toward self-actualisation by feeling truly heard and understood. The present and current moment only.
