As such, she works with clients to provide a collaborative experience that will facilitate a therapeutic approach that works best for you.
Connie’s overall approach to her work is very person-centred (PCT), Solution Focused (SFT) and Emotion Focused (EFT); however she draws from various other modalities in her work as required; such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches.
