About me
I am a mature and experienced counsellor using the Human Givens Solution Focused approach and specialising in anxiety and trauma. I can help you to recognize your strengths and resources, change unhelpful patterns of behaviour, communicate clearly and calm anxiety. I work creatively with metaphor and stories, and the best scientific knowledge available. It is a practical, positive forward-focused approach, which concentrates on mastery of skills such as anger management and relaxation that people can use in the future to move on in their lives, rather than concentrating on, and being stuck in, what went wrong in the past.
I work with adults, young people and couples and I also offer Counselling Supervision.
I use comfortable private rooms at Hebden Bridge Therapy Center with disabled access, and I do zoom appointments on line.
I do face to face counselling at the Hebden Therapy Centre and offer the Human Givens Rewind Technique in a calm safe environment. I offer reduced fees for NHS employees, and counselling is FREE for ex service personal and their families via a charity PTSD Resolution lives for 6 sessions.
