Profile
Experienced (18 years) individual and couple counsellor in YORK and WAKEFIELD.
Confusing isn't it? You're browsing through all these descriptions wondering which counsellor to contact, maybe you're a bit confused about all the different ways of working that are described or, more critically, whether counselling can help you anyway. If you're looking for couple or individual counselling in either Wakefield or York maybe you'd like to give me a call (or email me) and we can discuss how counselling might help.
Perhaps you're experiencing a 'life stage' experience - maybe there are issues to do with your relationship(s), maybe work related issues. Whatever it is that leads you to look through these pages, you will find that any of the counsellors listed could help you - at the end of the day it will be down to the quality of the professional relationship that you can have with them less than the particular 'way(s) of working' that the counsellor may describe in their 'spiel'.
Mind Matters , of which I am the Director, is a national counselling service provider with a head office in Wakefield. We are contracted by UK wide 'household name' organisations to provide 24/7/365 counselling to their staff and by a number of Primary Care and Hospital Trusts to provide care to patients / staff. Take a look at our website if you would like to know a little more about what we do.
Personally, I have been a counsellor for 18 years, working with individuals, couples and families using (most usually) a Solution Focused approach. You may like to look online to read a little more about this, but the basic assumptions / principles can best be summarised as follows:
- You are looking for change in some area of your life
-
You, the client, are the expert and define the 'goals' of our work together
-
You have the resources and strengths to solve your problems
-
Our work is usually present / future orientated - history is not essential
-
We focus on what is possible and changeable
-
Work is usually short term (usually 6 sessions or less)
If this way of working sounds like something that might be of help to you at this point in your life, I look forward to hearing from you.
