EUGENE FARRAR
Establishing a warm, empathic and accepting relationship is at the heart of my counselling approach. As an integrative counsellor I draw on different Humanistic models including, Person-centred, existential and Gestalt approaches. I work in a collaborative way, enabling people to explore their feelings, and to empower themselves to bring change to their lives. The pace and pressures of modern life can present many sources of emotional pain, including low self-esteem, grief, loss, relationships, abuse, identity, addiction, and anxiety.
I offer a confidential and person-centred space where you are free to explore your thoughts and feelings and work towards any life – changes you wish to make. Therapy can be the start of a healing process, but at times it can be difficult and challenging.
I feel privileged in sharing the joy and hope that counselling can bring, whilst offering compassion and warmth when the journey becomes tough. I have practiced in a busy city-based community counselling service and a county-wide specialist bereavement service.
I trained as a musician and gained my BA (Hons) degree in Creative/Community Arts from Newcastle Polytechnic in the late 1980’s. While juggling careers in performance and social work I experienced issues around mental health and addiction. The healing impacts of the therapeutic relationship inspired me to train at York St John University gaining a Post-graduate Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling.
I am currently undertaking research into the impacts of gambling harm on close relatives of gamblers, for my MA in Humanistic Counselling at York St John University.
I am also interested in developing/researching Humanistic approaches to working with people who experience gambling-harm.
