General Counselling Service:

For general emotional, behavioural and relationship problems, including anger, anxiety and depression, and related problems.

INTRODUCTION

Hello and welcome to the General Counselling Service page. I am a highly effective cognitive counsellor, with more than ten years experience of working in private practice, in Hebden Bridge and Halifax, and worldwide over the internet and the telephone system. During that time I have helped almost 500 people to overcome emotional, behavioural and relationship problems. My commitment is to help even more people over the next year. Perhaps one of them could be you?

I can help you face to face in Hebden Bridge or Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK; or:

By telephone or email, or over the internet, from any part of the world.

• What kind of "cognitive therapist" am I?

• What do my former clients say about my services and what they got?

• Do you need help with one or more of your relationships?
  
  
• Are you anxious or depressed?
  
  
• Do you need help to talk through your problems, and to identify solutions or remedies?
  

If so, then I can help you, with my discreet, confidential service.

WHAT CAN I OFFER?

I offer you a way to understand your emotions, thoughts, actions and relationship skills, so you can improve the way you feel and think, and how you relate to others; and how you perform generally in the world. I offer telephone counselling from any part of the world (apart from the state of California); and face to face counselling, coaching and therapy in Halifax and Hebden Bridge.

• I have helped almost 500 men and women, aged 17 to 75 to resolve problems of anxiety, depression, anger, couple conflict, stress, self esteem (or self confidence) problems, and so on.
  
• In the process, I listened to their problems, asked focus questions, identified the source of their problems, taught them how to solve them, and encouraged them to do the work and practice needed to improve their situations.

Counselling is an "empowering relationship", and a "teaching/learning encounter"

WHAT DID MY CLIENTS GAIN?

• Those individuals were able to think straighter (meaning more scientifically, or adult like); to feel better; to act better; to get better; to have more fun; to have better lives; to have better relationships; to work more effectively; to feel more love; to feel less hatred and fear; and so on.
