Dianne Hollingworth
About me
I am a fully qualified and experienced person-centred and CBT practitioner working in Huddersfield. I help individuals and couples with a wide range of difficulties, from feelings of depression and anxiety or low self-esteem, to difficult relationships at home or at work.
I understand every client is unique in their personality and needs, and that while one therapeutic approach may be very helpful for one client, it may not be for another. I am trained in person-centred therapy, have a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Life Coaching certificate, which enables me to work in a way best suited to each client.
I aim to provide plenty of space for you to tell your story, in a warm, supportive and open way. It’s important to me that I am making sure your voice is heard and respected and that you come to understand yourself; your needs, conflicts, anxieties, defences, and relational patterns on a much deeper level. In turn, this enables you to explore alternative ways of being and relating, helping you to find greater satisfaction and stability.
It’s important that you understand the therapeutic process and your progress, so I regularly offer and invite feedback. I offer short-term and long-term help, but have found working longer term with periodic reviews can be truly effective in creating a lasting change.
I also offer self-esteem, work/life balance workshops and creative group therapy which can be a powerful experience in looking at your personal development.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Coronavirus/Covid-19
I am able to support my clients through this difficult time by moving to online sessions. I'm using Zoom which is really easy - if you download the app onto your tablet, laptop or phone, I can send you the meeting i.d and password and we will be connected.
For many, it is more convenient that face to face counselling because there's no travel, no parking, just counselling in the comfort of your own home.
If you're having a tough time at the moment and could do with some extra support, drop me an email to see how I can help.
Stay safe.
