Lu Migliore Counselling
Individual
I offer tailored individual counselling sessions to help you navigate through life's challenges and improve your mental well-being. Let's work together on whatever issues are weighing you down most. Identifying those issues is often the breakthrough start you need! I will gently guide you through your options on what to focus on. I encourage mindful self-compassion and reframing of negative thoughts and patterns.
Couples
Couples counselling is designed to strengthen the bond between partners and resolve conflicts, fostering a healthier relationship. I use the lens of Emotionally Focussed Therapy developed by Dr Sue Johnson, in addition to Gottman principles in couple's therapy. Therapy goals are developed collaboratively. Essentially we will heal any ruptures that have formed in the relationship whether you are cisgender or non binary and whatever type of relationship you are in. We will look at your attachment patterns and use emotionally focussed therapy to heal your attachment to each other. No matter what crisis brings you to therapy, you will emerge stronger, more bonded and compassionate with your partner.
Family
Family counselling helps to create a nurturing and supportive environment for all family members, unique to your family configuration. All forms of family welcome. We can work together to heal family ruptures and improve communication and connection. We will consider communication style and roles which have developed in the family system. We will improve dynamics between family members by looking at the entire family constellation and inter-generational patterns.
Child
Child therapy is available to address any concerns your child may have with school, bullying, friendships, siblings or family changes. I use a combination of play therapy and talk therapy to connect with your child and explore emotion identification and emotion regulation. My goal is to empower your child to feel a greater sense of safety and emotional regulation.
Online
Convenient and confidential online counselling services are available for those who prefer remote sessions, ensuring continuous support and guidance. Sometimes virtual counselling over a screen gives a client a greater sense of safety and control over their environment. Or maybe it's just more convenient.
