Solution Focussed and Client-Centred
Cameron is a supportive therapist and and sympathetic listener. He is able to listen attentively, quickly reach the heart of the matter, and provide sound guidance and strategies for overcoming challenges. Cameron's calm, kind manner puts people at ease and he is very easy to talk to, even for those not normally keen on therapy.
Cameron works collaboratively with his clients to foster understanding into the roots of their current challenges. This typically leads to greater self-insight and a sense of how thoughts and actions contribute to maintaining emotional, social and mental upset. Cameron then provides tools, strategies and solutions that promote healing.
When faced with life's difficulties such as chronic pain, grief, anxiety or difficult times, Cameron is an excellent listener who gives thoughtful advice. Cameron helps his clients to build inner resources such as resilience, emotional regulation, courage, self-compassion, cultivating a calmer and wiser state of mind, and effective coping strategies when under pressure.
The goal in therapy is not just to overcome challenges, but also achieving, and sustaining, desired inner and outer changes. This means that Cameron also aims to provide his clients with the tools to weather future challenges.
He helps foster smoother relationships between people; provides therapy for broken hearts, life challenges and difficult pasts and presents, and helps to foster greater resilience and future well-being.
Utilising a variety of therapeutic approaches uniquely tailored to you
Cameron is well-trained and experienced in a number of therapies that have been proven to be effective, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). He intuitively adapts treatment to fit with the needs of his client in order to be most effective for their particular situation, personality, strengths and challenges. He always remains client-focussed, meaning understanding the human being in front of him as a person living in the real world, and how to help them, always remain paramount in his approach.
Therapy is not just about applying techniques, it requires kind, non-judgemental, deep understanding of difficulties and how they came about, and intuitive insights about what will work for this unique person and their struggles. Cameron's sensitivity and genuine desire to help alleviate suffering, combined with his talent and training as a psychologist, make him an effective and genuinely helpful therapist.
