About me

Hi,

I’m Kristian, a Counsellor based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. I offer face to face, Telephone or online Counselling. I'd say my way of working is pragmatic, down to earth but also Philosophical. Im interested in life's grey areas,  the areas that often cause us distress. 

My aim is to provide a relationship where people can explore their thoughts and feelings, helping them make sense of them. I offer this without the judgements that we often encounter in our day to day lives. I aim to accept you for who you are.  I'm interested in how you see yourself and your situation. 

I work with people experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity issues, abuse and loss. This is not an exhaustive list, sometimes people feel that something just doesn’t feel right. This could be also be a relationship issue or a behaviour they feel they want to change. 

I’m not there to tell you what to do but through counselling, a person can connect with who they are, who they want to be and decide what they need. I will be there alongside you, we'll work together but ultimately you'll decide where you want your counselling to go.

If you feel this is something you’d like to discuss, then please feel free to contact me. We can discuss Counselling and take things from there.

I look forward to hearing from you

Wishing you all the best

Kristian

Training, qualifications & experience

I aim to provide reassurance of a confidential and professional service to clients who are accessing counselling. I have undertaken relevant training, holding a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

I'm fully insured and also a member of the BACP meaning I adhere to their code of ethics.

I trained at Kirklees college and completed my placement at Mosaic 2 in Bradford, a specialist counselling service for survivors of sexual abuse.

Prior to training as a counsellor Ive spent about 15 years working for a range of different charities.

I welcome the opportunity to work with Clients from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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.
