I am a psychotherapist and CBT practitioner  and the therapies I use are CBT, person-centred, integrative, psycho-dynamic, psycho-analytical, and solution-focused.  As a therapist I consider it essential that the therapies I use are relevant to the specific issues that my client presents with, and to help with this the initial consultation is ninety minutes to two hours

I have been a graduate member of the British Psychological Society since 2003, as well as a registered member of the BACP for over ten years and have had my own private practice for twelve years

I have worked for various charities in the Yorkshire area, namely Mosaic 11 in Bradford, The Turning Point in Brighouse where I was the Counselling Co-Ordinator, and the Domestic Abuse Refuge Support Group Barnsley) Limited, where I counselled children who had witnessed domestic abuse from ages 5 to 18 in schools in the Barnsley and Sheffield areas

I was in private practice at The Orchard therapy centre in Horsforth for eight years but now my practice is in Roundhay, Leeds

You can ask questions relating to your therapy

I am an experienced therapist and I consider it very important that clients fully understand the therapy or therapies I will be using and what they can expect from the therapy process

I have a diploma in Therapeutic counselling which helps to reassure the client and to know  they are valued and respected, and that they can trust me

I will be honest with them and work to ethical practice, and will not judge them

Counselling sessions are approximately 55 minutes but the initial consultation will be 90 minutes to 2 hours

Payment is via bank transfer prior to the initial consultation and the day of the therapy session 

A cost and information sheet will be emailed prior to the start of therapy with details re therapy and payment 

Leaflets relating to therapy will be emailed to clients sometimes but these will be free of charge

The first session is a consultation and establishing why you want therapy, identifying your issues, and also what you want to achieve  from it.  This is very important and the session can be for one or two hours

Any questions or worries relating to your therapy and what to expect can be addressed and to determine your availability and initially sessions will be weekly

As the client’s therapy progresses, appointments may be fortnightly rather than weekly

This can be related to couples counselling but this will be discussed with the client or clients

You may be asked to complete a questionnaire or test to help with your assessment

if you are, this will be fully explained but the questionnaires are not compulsory

This session is used to discuss your issues, the therapy or therapies to be used, and the different types of therapy available to help with your issues

Also can discuss your availability for sessions if you choose to book a course of therapy

Appointments can rescheduled if necessary but 24 hours notice is required otherwise there will be a charge

I am a psychotherapist and CBT practitioner but also have a post graduate diploma in Therapeutic counselling 

I have worked for various charities and organisations and was the Counselling Co-Ordinator for  The Turning Point charity in Brighouse and supervised trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists 

I worked with Leeds College, Huddersfield University, Calderdale college and various charities in the Calderdale area and supervised trainee counsellors whilst they were doing their respective courses and establishing their 100 hours counsellor training

My supervision training was with SDS Seminars

Therapies

Psycho dynamic 

Psycho analytical

CBT

Person centred

Gestalt

The first session would be to ascertain that the supervisor and supervisee could establish a way of working that would be beneficial and meet the necessary requirements of the supervisee’s choice of intervention 

The supervisee needs to be open and honest when discussing their clients and also to be able to discuss any counselling problems or issues in their practice 

Therefore choice of supervisor is very important
