Choice Theory & Reality Therapy

Choice Theory is the foundation and underlying theory upon which all of the processes I use for counselling and for leadership/supervision are based. Originated by Dr. William Glasser, it contends that all of our motivation and behaviours are an attempt to meet our specific wants and universal human needs of:

1. Love and belonging
2. Self worth / power
3. Freedom
4. Fun and enjoyment
5. Survival and health

Reality Therapy is principally a method of counselling, based on Choice Theory, that is highly focused, interactive and applicable to almost every area where counselling or psychotherapy is practiced. Additionally, the practical ideas and skills of Reality Therapy have also been successfully applied to coaching, managing and supervision, where it is referred to as Lead Management; extensively in working
with young people, education, teaching, care and behaviour responsibility.

Reality Therapy training is available in the UK and is a minimum of 18 month study. The Psychotherapist accreditation is 4 years minimum training programme. For more information about Reality Therapy visit the Institute website via the link below.
