Anthony Engel’s Approach to Psychological Therapy
Anthony Engel uses evidence-based therapies and practical strategies tailored to the individual.
The approach used in counselling depends on the person’s circumstances, age, concerns and goals.
Anthony believes that therapy is never a one-size-fits-all solution. Every individual brings a unique history, a distinct voice, and specific aspirations to the room. Because of this, his therapeutic approach is fluid, adaptive, and deeply collaborative.
He will create a personalised treatment plan that respects your past, addresses your present and empowers your future.
