Hello I'm Andrew,

I provide Person Centred Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) at my premises on Rodney Street in Liverpool City Centre. I will provide a non-judgemental, relaxed and supportive space for you to explore whatever is currently troubling you. My approach utilises the methods and skills of both CBT and Counselling to ensure that I can provide the most suitable approach for your needs. Working in collaboration we will look at the appropriate strategies and/or techniques for investigating negative thoughts / beliefs, problematic behaviours and any distressing emotions that you maybe experiencing.

 As you're reading this post it maybe that you're considering taking some action to make some changes for yourself. I understand how difficult a decision it can be to show vulnerability and ask for help. What I've witnessed many times is how this initial vulnerability can lead to positive real world changes and immeasurable personal growth. I promise to support you on this challenging yet ultimately rewarding journey.

The nature of person centred counselling means that it's you who is always in control of what you want to talk about. I can offer you a safe, supportive and confidential space to do this where we will work towards building a trusting relationship which can lead to you understanding far more deeply what you may be currently experiencing emotionally.

CBT offers the opportunity to work towards specific goals with targeted approaches to changing negative thought patterns / beliefs and problematic behaviours. Leading to the development of your own toolkit / skills for the ongoing maintenance of positive mental health.

I also have a sound working knowledge of the impacts of trauma on individuals and can bring this into our work if you required. We can look at nervous system dis-regulation and the recommended approaches to working towards alleviating the long term effects of past traumatic experiences.

Initially I offer a free 20 minute phone session during this I can answer any specific questions you may have, we can discuss what has brought you to look for a therapist and what you're hoping to gain from the sessions. Most importantly you can also decide whether you think I am a suitable person to help you, as it is the client/ counsellor relationship which is thought to be the most important aspect in therapy for successful outcomes to be experienced clients.

There is no obligation to continue after the initial free 20 minute session , that decision is yours to make. If you do wish to proceed, we can discuss what intervals of session you would prefer, either weekly or fortnightly. These sessions will last for 60 minutes.

Thank you for reading through this information. I hope it has given you some clarity on what I can offer you.
