it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures. Take a risk a day - one small or bold stroke
that will make you feel great once you have done it". Susan Jeffers.
Who
am I, and what do I offer?
My name is Dr Jim Byrne. I am a Doctor of Counselling. Over the past thirteen
years, I have helped more than 650 people to get over their problems of anger, anxiety, rage, depression, stress, panic attacks,
low self-esteem, poor self confidence, and/or relationship problems including couple conflict. My clients find that they can
get over their urgent and immediate problems in just three or four sessions with me. (See the 'Unsolicited Client Testimonials' page***).
I offer face-to-face counselling, coaching and therapy services in North London, on the first Tuesday of each month.
You can then consult me by telephone at intervals between our face to face session. Please see the Telephone Counselling page.***
Our face to face meetings would be in a private room at the Novotel Hotel, 100-110 Euston Road,
NW1 2AJ; which is a five minute walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras railway station.
Because I am only in London once
each month, and because of the high overhead costs, it is necessary to book a triple session - which
is three times 45 minute sessions, at £175 per session. Thus the total cost to you would be £525 per month.
This fee must be paid into the ABC bank account and cleared seven days before the appointment is due to take place.
I offer general counselling help with emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties; and also in seven areas of specialism***.
I provide a unique form of ‘talk therapy', or cognitive counselling (including elements of CBT), which
combines the best systems of effective thinking, re-deciding, re-parenting, psychological education, social skills training,
and emotional support. This system is called Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy, or CENT counselling.
What is the structure of a counselling session?
A standard counselling/therapy session in London is a 135 minute
conversation, which is confidential between us. (I would never breach my pledge of confidentiality, unless a client told me
they planned to commit a serious crime, and that has never happened in more than thirteen years of doing this work). During
those sessions, through a process of discussion, debate and direct teaching/training, I use Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy
(CENT) to help my clients to feel better; to act better; to think better; and to function better in their home and work relationships
and performances.

What will you get?
If you come to see me, I will help you to reframe
your problems - to look at them and think about them differently - so that they look and feel more manageable, easier to solve;
and less distressing or difficult.
I will introduce you to new ways of thinking/feeling about your unresolved problems
in life, including early childhood problems, or problems from later stages in your life; and I will help you to feel better
about who you are and how you behave and perform in the world.
If you enter into CENT counselling with me, you can expect to learn how to think better; feel better and perform and behave
better, at home and at work.
If you are angry, anxious or depressed, you can expect to reduce the intensity of those
emotions to a more reasonable level; which will improve how you feel; how you act; and the general quality of your life.
Happiness can return to your life.
If you are struggling with conflict or disturbances in your relationships, you can
expect to learn how to manage effective relationships for productive outcomes.
If you are struggling with practical
problems in your life, you can expect to gain the skills to plan and implement your goals more effectively.

Fees
Because
I am only in London once each month, and because of the high overhead costs, it is necessary to book a triple
session - which is three times 45 minute sessions, at £175 per session. Thus the total cost to you
would be £525 per month. This fee must be paid into the ABC bank account and cleared seven days before the appointment
is due to take place. If you also sign up for a couple of telephone counselling sessions per month, you can reduce
your average session fee dramatically, because telephone counselling is much less expensive.
