About Hilary Sims
- People come to see me for a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment.
- My professional help can help you to break free so that you can live your life again.
- Our therapy sessions will give you the space to explore the issues that are causing you suffering and by offering you a high standard of therapeutic care and support, I can help you to find solutions to those problems.
I undertake three main types of therapy, all of which require mutual trust, honesty and understanding – the benchmark of my professional approach.
1) Humanistic Counselling (Person Centred) is an extremely effective method that enables you to explore freely your whole life experience, rather than focusing on one specific area or problem. It will allow you to realise your skills/strengths and we will work together to build on these to reach your goals.
2)Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured therapy that is used mostly to treat anxiety and depression. It is a collaborative intervention, which means that together, we will agree a step-by-step plan for you to modify your behaviour. You can practise these between sessions and when we meet, we will assess the changes that this practice has bought about.
3)Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a short-term treatment that focuses finding a solution to a specific problem.
