Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach
Conor takes a systemic approach to his work. Systemic therapists believe that we are interconnected to those around us. Therefore, this approach focuses on the relationships that we have with others. These relationships can occur in many different contexts such as at home, work, or school. Systemic therapy is often used to work with family groups and couples. However, it is also suitable for individuals as well as non-familial groups of people who are interconnected.
Conor invites clients to explore issues in a safe, collaborative, and non-judgemental way. He seeks to magnify the resourcefulness and skills that already exist within clients so that they can better overcome problems that they are experiencing in their lives. He does not seek to attribute blame or find out who is at fault, rather he looks to walk alongside clients as they discover their own unique solutions to problems.
Conor believes that Systemic Psychotherapy is a powerful resource and seeks to share this with clients.
