About Siggy Verelst

Name: Siggy Verelst

Occupation: Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist

Qualifications: MA, GradDip(Counselling & Psychotherapy), Dip Hypnotherapy & NLP, MACA

Counselling Style: I work with clients by exploring their here and now experience without judgement and with the aim of increasing awareness. My training in counselling and psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and meditation allows me to address people’s difficulties using a variety of approaches, all with a humanistic foundation. Generally this results in a combination of existential, person-centered, gestalt and emotion-focused-therapy.

Why do I practice as a counsellor?: I feel a strong compassion for people and a desire to assist in alleviating suffering through raising one’s awareness, developing one’s individuality and uniqueness, encouraging self-expression and through generating compassion for self and others.

What personal qualities do I bring to the counselling relationship?: I am an enthusiastic practitioner. I value the interrelation of body, mind and spirit and the role it plays in the pursuit of a more balanced and fulfilling life. I see every person as a unique individual, rather than diagnosing or labeling each problem, I interpret psychological difficulties as an attempt to make the best possible adjustment to survive an earlier or present unhealthy environment or painful experience. With compassion and authenticity I strive to find a new and unique therapy for each individual.
