"The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change"
CARL ROGERS
ABOUT
I am David Brookes, a qualified counsellor based in Cheshire.
​
As a counsellor I provide a safe space for you to work on the issues that you consider are the most important. I will tailor the pace and style of counselling to what works best for you. The backbone of the approach I take is known as person centred therapy which believes that you have within you the knowledge to move on and find better ways forward.
Gentle challenge in a safe environment gives you the opportunity to reflect and grow. I will help you focus and develop your thoughts and feelings on the aspects of your life that are of most concern to you.
This is achieved by providing a confidential and non judgemental space for you to explore your sense of who you are, the people you care about and the things that align with your core values.
APPROACH
The counselling approach I use is founded on the belief that everyone has the solution within them to the issues that they find troubling. By talking through what is going on for you and hearing the relevant parts reflected back enables you to get some traction on your ideas rather than the wheels of your brain spinning getting seemingly nowhere.
The approach is known as person centred counselling and is the work of Carl Rogers
CONTACT ME
I am based in Cheshire and offer counselling by phone or online. If you are close to Lymm then face to face or outdoor counselling may also be possible

The number of sessions needed to achieve the change you seek will vary on many factors. Weekly sessions often work well but am happy to consider other approaches that may help better.
