Male Counselling in Chester
I am a qualified counsellor with nearly 30 years experience. I work exclusively with couples, and only online, unless you live local to me. I can help with the dissatisfaction that often seems to follow the initial besotted phase, repetitive conflict, affairs, loss of emotional connection or passion, and sexual issues. I also specialize in parenting problems. Currently you may be thinking the person you found may not be the 'right' one after all, and that there's a mythical perfect partner out there. Your task may well be not to find a new right person to love, but to reconnect with and love the right person you already found.

Therapy can be a profound process of change and discovery; nowhere else in our lives do we have the undivided attention of someone else. Together we'll look at repeating patterns in your life that are unhelpful for you and work to discover the root of these and make some changes. We make decisions about who we are in childhood and our relationship with the world that then become outdated. Therapy is about changing these decisions. I also incorporate mindfulness and awareness of the present moment into your therapy. The past can lead us to depression and the future to anxiety. Peace is in the present moment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Do you feel haunted by your past? Does it feel like you’re not in the driving seat of your own life, repeating the same patterns of behaviour that have a negative impact on you or others around you? Do you want things to change? It’s very easy in today’s world to become lost, not able to navigate our way through and find meaning, which can lead to feeling like we have no compass guiding us. We might lean on people, places or behaviours that help us to cope in the moment but take away our power. I work with people who want to find their way again.

Hello, I am David, an experienced qualified Pluralistic counsellor. I believe no single counselling approach will fit every client and presenting issue. Person-centred and psychodynamic in outlook and attitude, I tailor my approach to each client, using the therapeutic approach that best addresses and resolves the client's problems. At the heart of my counselling style is the belief clients heal through exploring how their issues arose, where these come from, and crucially how to make the changes needed to feel at ease with themselves. I help clients do this by moving away from people-pleasing to being true to themselves.

I offer therapy for many difficulties, but I have a special interest in providing therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues of self-worth. My work in the NHS has given me rich experience of working with a wide variety of clients, who each bring their own unique experiences. I consider it of utmost importance then, to get to know you and to understand your individual needs and goals for therapy.

Imagine telling someone your deep rooted shame, guilt or fears. I would imagine that you would want to run the other way (and I wouldn't blame you, for that is a very scary prospect).
However, I pride myself on creating a very safe and genuine space for you to slowly begin to share your life experiences and how they have shaped you. We can look at the people who caused you harm and maybe the people you wished they were there for you. Counselling is a process that works at your pace, and I will walk along that process with you, to gradually understand the guilt, shame and fear that has held you prisoner for far too long.

I believe that we all need a safe space to talk about what we are going through at particular points in our lives. I help people strive to make sense of often complex issues because developing our self-awareness empowers us towards acceptance and change. I am passionate about connecting with others through therapeutic relationships in order to collaboratively address difficulties and achieve goals.

I am passionate about trauma informed practice: making every effort to understand the impact of people’s lived experiences on their daily lives. My approach is based on psychological formulation, to make sense of what a person is experiencing, and then using a range of integrated approaches to help people to make changes. I care about empowering individuals to live the lives they want to live, and take a very human and empathic approach to working with people's distress.

I have never imagined and perhaps will never imagine my ideal client.
Life is such a rich tapestry of individuals, all with their own perspective, sense and grip on reality.
We all encounter troubles in many guises at certain points in our lives.
Many clients enter the therapy space often unsure how to articulate their wants & needs.
Only through the slow therapeutic process of the client's journey with me walking alongside them can we begin to piece together just where they are and where they need to be with their own gentle enquiry and my genuine curiosity & support to help facilitate growth and change.

Hi, I'm Neil. I appreciate that life can sometimes feel difficult, stressful and overwhelming. Many of us struggle with relationships, responsibilities and the pressures of balancing our work and home lives. Sometimes you may feel anxious or depressed without understanding the reason why, or have experienced an event that you're struggling to work through. Maybe you just feel flat or unmotivated, or perhaps you're finding life hard to face after losing someone close to you. If any of this resonates with how you feel, I can help you.
