1C, Ddr Jim Byrne, Counselling Hebden Bridge

Counselling for problem solving: “If you have a difficult problem with which you are wrestling; and you are doing that wrestling ‘in your head’, instead of on paper, then you will suffer enormously, and in vain. You cannot solve significant problems through a process of introspection or rumination. If you try to solve your problem on paper, you will have a much better chance of success – (especially if you have been taught various ways to think constructively, and to problem-solve effectively!) But some problems require that you have your brain-mind engaged with the brain-mind of another person. Problems of social-emotions, relationships, attachment issues, and many more, fit this category where you need another mind to help to jointly-regulate your mind. That is the great virtue of all forms of counselling and psychotherapy. And, of course, the quality of the mind of the counsellor plays a huge part!”

Dr Jim Byrne, Doctor of Counselling and creator of Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT)

Counselling in Hebden Bridge…With Dr Jim Byrne, Doctor of Counselling

1, List of features of Main Service

For more than 25 years, individuals and couples have been consulting me for help with all kinds of problems of unhappiness, related to their thinking, feelings, behaviours and relationships (in the past and the present).

They have often brought problems of attachment, trauma, personality maladaptation, anger management; anxiety and depression; and lifestyle problems, as well as couple relationshp problems.

And some of them write to me to tell me what they got from working with me.***

My Enhanced Main Counselling and Psychotherapy Service:

My Enhanced Main Service consists of the following elements:

I will send you six to ten questionnaires (or more), related to the problem area that you want to work on with me.
I will analyse your questionnaire answers – (and I may then have some supplementary questions for you); and then I’ll set up the first of three (or four) counselling meetings, of 60-minutes each.
At the first counselling meeting, I will be conducting some more informal assessment, and also introducing some therapy elements.
I will then spend the equivalent of two or three (or more) days – (over a period of many days) – writing a report for you, which will (most often) be sent in two or three (or more) small, digestible chunks, instead of all at once.
After the first chunk of report is sent to you, I will then follow up with six or eight (or more) psycho-educational documents – (sent at three-weeky intervals, or some alternative time gap that we agree upon) – which will be designed to help you to learn the knowledge and skills you will need in order to resolve your main problem or problems.
The entire process goes on for at leaset 18 to 24 weeks, normally; and sometimes for much longer than that!

Dr Jim in North Yorkshire Counselling is a wonderful twentieth century invention, which we have evolved for the twenty-first century. And I (Jim Byrne) have developed the most holistic (or complete) model of counselling psychology – (including the body, brain and mind, and social environment of the client; and their attachment history and personality adaptations, some of which may be traumatic) – in collaboration with Renata Taylor-Byrne. And I have also developed the most comprehensive approach to delivering counselling/therapeutic results to my clients, using the enhanced assessment/ meeting/ report/ follow-up documents structure described above.

One of my clients recently wrote to say:

“You have been one of the most inspiring and influential people in my life so far. You have guided me through some very rought patches, and I will always be very grateful for your attention, care and guidance”.

~~~

My expertise is based on my more than twenty-five years of counselling and therapy experience with more than 1250 clients who had all manner of problems – plus my professional training at the University of Manchester – and the research and application that went into writing more than twenty-five books.*** Plus my own lifelong journey from the emotional misery of a loveless family of origin, to the sense of being a complete, happy and healed person, who is at peace with the world, and enjoying every moment of every day in happiness, health and personal success; and secure attachment to my wife of more than forty years – (Renata).

I do my work with clients through conversation, which is warm and friendly, and helpful, and insightful, and exploratory, and designed to help you to straighten out your story in your head, and to straighten out your feelings in your heart and your guts. Plus the provision of high-quality analytical reports, and documentary follow-ups. (My Enhanced Main Counselling Service, depends a lot on documentary information and educational materials, and so this is ideal for individuals who learn well from reading [and reflective writing].

I also give advice on how to manage your body-brain-mind, and your environment, for optimum functioning. This is called Lifestyle Counselling.

As indicated elsewhere on this site, we at ABC Counselling and Psychotherapy Services, practice the most up to the minute form of emotive-cognitive therapy. It’s called Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT), and it integrates the best elements of many of the pre-existing systems of counselling and therapy, (while excluding the obviously negative elements!) And it includes a strong focus upon lifestyle factors, like diet, exercise, relaxation/breathing and sleep patterns.

I am regulated by the International Society for Psychotherapy and Counselling (ISPC), whose code of ethics I follow, and to whose complaints procedures I am subject.
