Counselling Services
Ericksonian Counselling (also known as Ericksonian Psychotherapy) is the approach to helping developed by Milton H. Erickson MD. It utilizes the natural abilities, resources and capabilities of the client and recognizes that human subconscious processes can operate in a wise, creative and healing way.
In counselling and psychotherapy the Ericksonian therapist utilizes a broad set of helping skills and qualities to help their clients overcome presenting problems. They may sometimes use skills that would be familiar to clients who have been to a Person Centered counsellor, but they also have at their disposal numerous non-hypnotic Ericksonian techniques to help clients succeed in overcoming a wide range of personal, emotional and interpersonal issues.
At Westfields Counselling our clinicians use a full range of Ericksonian counselling and psychotherapeutic techniques along with a broad range of skills from Eclectic, Solution Focused and Cognitive Counselling and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Counselling can help you in:

Counselling and Psychotherapy Sessions last one hour and cost £40, the number of sessions required varies but our therapists work on a brief therapy basis and aim to help clients overcome their presenting issues in as few sessions as possible. Client privacy is respected and sessions are confidential according to the General Hypnotherapy Register and the Fellowship of Eclectic Talking Therapists ethical codes.
