Dennis Paget’s counselling approach is to be a compassionate person-centered and emotionally focused, counsellor.
Having completed his own therapy he understands the feeling of sitting with a stranger sharing personal information. His role is to partner with you on your journey of discovery and growth at your pace. To ensure his counselling skill set is honed and up to date he employs a mentor to review his personal growth and discuss any transference or counter transference which may appear with a client. This is his continued commitment to himself, his work and his clients.
