Strengths-based work focuses on identifying personal resources and building on what already works in daily life to improve relationships and self-esteem.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Giles will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
