Frances Currie Counselling

I believe that most people have the resources within them to lead a fulfilling life. To do that, many of us could do with some specialist support from time to time. You don’t need to have emotional issues or even be suffering to benefit from counselling, psychotherapy and coaching. I welcome both individuals and couples with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

I work with Existential Counselling and Psychotherapy, which has foundations in philosophy, as well as psychology. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Both of these models emphasise our unique ability to choose how we want to live. I work with every person’s individual experience of the world – their own values, beliefs and assumptions.

The techniques of CBT are also used in Life Coaching and Business Coaching. Coaches aim to help their clients define realistic goals and work towards them. This process works best with people who are not currently held back by deeper emotional or behavioural issues, but who are aware that they are a bit stuck and are not reaching their full potential. I enjoy working in this way particularly in a business environment. Before I became a counsellor I spent several years designing and implementing organisational and job change projects in a large bank. Coaching for me is a blend of those old skills, and the ones I have as a therapist.

Personal Well-being and Clinical Supervision
BACP and UKCP members attend regular supervision with experienced therapists with as much, or more, experience as themselves. This practice is spreading more and more to practitioners in other fields, particularly health professionals.
Please contact me if you are looking for supervision in the Gibraltar area.
