Samantha De Bono
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, Life Coach, Couples Counsellor and Mediation Practitioner, offering a confidential service to individuals, couples and families.
Working Integratively means that I use a range of skills according to the problems and the person, taking the most effective parts of a number of approaches such as Psychodynamic, Cognitive, Behavioural and Humanistic, with a view to applying these elements to help you to look at your life from a different perspective.
I have also developed my own Inspiration model which incorporates both counselling and life coaching. After working for years with people in crisis, I began to see that with using only counselling and psychotherapy, clients were at risk of getting stuck in the past and not moving forward quickly enough. I wanted clients to leave my practice feeling inspired to live their lives with new found confidence and vigour.
Looking at the past is an important part of therapy, but it should only inform us, not drag us back to a place we don’t want to be. That’s why I began to incorporate life coaching with therapy, it allows the person/the couple or the family to begin to live for today in an informed, improved and inspired way.
People are individual and the psychological distress and trauma they suffer from are wide ranging and unique to them, that is why I do not use a ‘one size fits all’ approach in my work, but use techniques of a range of approaches, which allows flexibility in the session to help find solutions that suit the individual, the couple or the family I am working with.
