I provide secular and Christian counselling for a range of mental health issues, and am based in Wath upon Dearne, Rotherham. Counselling sessions are either in person at the private rooms I use nearby or online, by video. It may not have been easy for you to get to this point, but well done for getting this far and trying something different!
If you've never seen a counsellor before, you might have a few questions you'd like answering before you go any further. If that is the case, then here is more information. I would add extra detail to that. I would define it as a professional relationship where you meet for an hour on a regular basis and tell a trusted person what is bothering you in confidentiality.

Since I have experienced some of life's challenges myself, I know the benefits of acceptance and so I don't judge you. Working as a therapist is central to my life as I embody the values that allow me to be genuinely present as a sensitive human person in the room with you. Family and friends - the pandemic has taught me the value of spending time with other people.
If your question is not answered here, then why not contact me and I will answer you directly? The counselling relationship is unusual in that you get to talk about whatever you like, and my main role is to listen. I will listen to you without being judgemental or offering advice.
I will encourage you to talk openly to explore those things you find difficult to talk about with others by offering a non-threatening environment where you feel free to explore difficult situations you encounter in your daily life.Once we have started working together I may also gently challenge you by asking open questions or reflecting back to you what you have said.

Do you struggle trying to balance home, work, the school run, shopping etc. whilst feeling that you need some time out to talk to a therapist? Would you find it difficult or even impossible to travel to a counselling session? The digital world offers several ways of communicating with a counsellor, thus providing a workaround.
There is a short process to entering counselling, as there is a little paperwork and you may find it helpful to know what to expect. It is difficult to say how long your counselling will take and so the total cost is impossible to calculate, but if you don't wish to continue suffering with no hope of recovery whilst you are on a long waiting list, then doesn't it seem like a good option to see someone like myself, in private practice?
It can seem quite a challenging step to seek counselling help, but do not be afraid if that is the case. I will try to be understanding and put no pressure on you. I will only keep your contact details, text messages or emails for as long as I need them to in order to reply. When contacting me it is a good idea to include your preferred method of contact - whether email, text or phonecall.

I have been seeing Mike for over a year, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From our very first session, I felt understood and supported. Mike has a unique ability to create a safe and welcoming environment, making it easy to open up and discuss even the most challenging issues, including any anxiety.
His compassionate and non-judgmental approach has been instrumental in my personal growth and healing. Mike is not only an excellent listener but also offers practical, insightful advice that has helped me navigate various aspects of my life and manage anxiety effectively. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that I feel heard and valued.
He is always professional, yet warm and approachable, striking the perfect balance. Over the past year, I have seen significant improvements in my mental health and overall well-being, and I attribute much of this progress to Mike’s guidance and support.
I am incredibly grateful for his help and look forward to continuing my journey with him.
