Hi, I’m Will.

 

I’m a registered counsellor and psychotherapist working in Leeds City Centre.

 

I work with clients with a range of issues including: 

 

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Stress

  • Low self-esteem

  • Feeling empty or dissatisfied with life

  • Bereavement/loss

  • Struggling with the impact of their childhood

Qualifications, training and experience

 

As well as a BA degree before becoming a therapist, I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University and CPCAB certificates in Counselling Skills and Counselling Studies from Coventry University College.

I have also completed Online and Telephone Counselling training by an organisation called Counselling Tutor. 

​

I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I work in line with their ethical framework.

​

I have a particular interest in working with clients working in higher education and survivors of bereavement by suicide.

 

My most recent training has been on:

​

  • Chairwork

  • Online and telephone counselling

  • Working with shame

  • Working with adult survivors of childhood trauma

  • Working with complex trauma - Stage 1

A little more about me

 

I had a varied career before becoming a therapist; teaching English as a foreign language in Italy and working in different office jobs around the UK.

​

In 2019 I went to Sierra Leone to teach Maths and English, and help local charities with their projects.

​

In my spare time I enjoy walking in the beautiful countryside around Leeds.
