INTRODUCTION

Hello and welcome to my website.

  • Are you looking for help with emotional, behavioural or relationship problems?
  • Do you feel angry, anxious or depressed?
  • Are you feeling miserable about the problems in your life?
  • If you answered 'Yes' to any of those questions, then I can help you.

    My name is Dr Jim Byrne, and I've helped hundreds of individuals from all walks of life to achieve happier, more successful lives, for more than ten years now. I offer face-to-face counselling, coaching and therapy services in Hebden Bridge and Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK. I am a fully trained and accredited cognitive-emotive-narrative therapist (REBT/CBT/CENT). (See the 'Accreditation and Ethics' page).

    My clients find that they can get over their problems in just three or four sessions with me. (See the 'Client Testimonials' page).

    WHAT IS A SESSION?

    A session is a 45 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 ten 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.

    If you are struggling with conflict or disturbances in your relationships, you can expect to learn how to manage effective relationships for productive outcomes.

    OVERCOMING FEAR AND ANXIETY

    A self help manual

    by Dr Jim Byrne

    Introduction

    In this manual, I want to do two things: (1) To present a basic understanding of the Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) approach to dealing with anxiety’; and (2) To provide a set of exercises for you to do so that you can learn how to analyze your problems with anxiety; identify solutions; and implement those solutions so as to eliminate your anxiety. In that way, you can become your own “counsellor”, in the area of anxiety and fear, because you can learn to fix your own emotional and behavioural problems.   Distinguishing Anxiety and Concern

    In Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), we distinguish between helpful and unhelpful negative emotions, and show our clients how to get rid of their unhelpful negative emotions. We are not aiming to produce “unemotional” individuals, but rational, calm individuals who have a full range of emotions appropriate to the events in their lives, which help them to focus on their objectives and to come to terms with the facts of their lives. So if you are facing a threat or danger, it’s a good idea to be reasonably concerned about it. Concern will help you to deal with the impending problem. But anxiety will disrupt your thinking and behaviour.
