Pete | Counsellor/Psychotherapist
Psychotherapy and Counselling Rochdale
Hello, and welcome to my profile. My name is Pete, I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapist Society (NCPS).
I’m an integrative counsellor which enables me to use a range of counselling methods. First and foremost, I am a person-centred counsellor which enables me to create a space which feels comfortable for you to explore your needs without judgement. This space is valuable and can be the perfect foundation to explore and understand problems, and make positive changes.
I am a very down to earth person with an empathic and warm approach which helps you to explore your difficulties in a non-judgmental and accepting environment. An environment that allows you the opportunity to talk about any problems that you want to work through.I have experience of working with clients that present with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addiction, grief and loss and many more presenting issues.
I can also use different counselling methods such as solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, compassion focused therapy and mindfullness - this enables me to use a whole person approach tailored to your needs.
If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message.
