Graham Mason Counsellor
Hello, mostly practising in Cardiff, South Wales. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and an Accredited Professional Member of National Counselling & Psychotherapy society (NCPS). My experience working as a therapist has allowed me to help clients of all ages from all backgrounds with wide ranging issues. My role in our relationship is to listen to your story, help you learn to get the balance between change and acceptance. The first challenge can be just making the decision to start the process of seeking therapy. So well done, you've taken that step and landed on my web site. If you take the second step and make contact the benefits to you can be enormous. With the support we look to offer, and the commitment you can be assured of receiving from me it will be possible to achieve a better, more balanced you.
As a systemically trained counsellor I pay attention to what is happening in your world right now, what is influencing your life and thoughts. Believing that change is always possible given the right conditions exist for that change to thrive and embed. It follows that one of the most important points to me is that my clients are given a safe, confidential space where they can explore their concerns, but where they are valued, accepted and given compassion.
I consider my approach to be what is termed “integrative” where I use a blend of theory and techniques from the Person-Centred, Solution Focused, Systemic schools of counselling and psychotherapy. Practising from this approach I am able to adapt my way of working with clients to the unique needs and wishes of the individual. I am particularly interested in how relationships have affected and influenced your perception of what is happening in your world; this is including people who might have had influence on you in your early life. Very important are those people you have around you today as they can apply great influence either positive or negative affecting your daily decisions. The therapeutic relationship that will form between us as counsellor and client is also of great importance.
