Francis Atkinson, MSc/Dip Psychotherapy,Reg. MBACP (Senior) Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist

About me
I am an experienced and fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist> and Clinical Supervisor. I have over 28 years experience of working with individuals and couples in a variety of settings that includes male/female, adults/adolescents (17+), different cultural heritages and ethnocides, and also sexualities.

During my own previous therapy (10+ years), and my own development as a counsellor and psychotherapist I have come to realise how important the reliability of the therapist is to the client work, and also the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and client. Whether the issue is more specific, such as bereavement, redundancy, relationship issues or, more psychologically defined issues, such as, anxiety, identity, depression, self-confidence, self-esteem, sexuality, complex trauma or abuse, and so on, what is most important of all for the therapy to work, is to have a good working relationship between client and myself so that the issues that are being worked on can be done so in a safe environment of respect, trust, and acceptance, so that resolution and change can hopefully take place.
Looking for a Relational Counsellor or Psychotherapist - call me on 07960645654 or Email me at franatkinson58@protommail.com
I look forward to hearing from you.

Choosing the right therapist

I understand how difficult it often is to know what counsellor or psychotherapist to choose, both on a personal basis, but also in terms of the issue(s) you may be bringing. It sometimes feels like 'pot luck'. It is for this reason that I have chosen to offer all prospective clients a free 30 minute consultation session, without commitment at this initial stage. This is so that we can meet and talk about the issue(s) that are affecting you, and any questions you may have for me. This may be to do with my practice, theoretical stance, training and/or experience, as well as discussing professional practice issues, such as, confidentiality, fees, cancellation policy, etc. Part of this process is also to see whether it feels right for us to work together. And, as said before, there is no commitment to starting therapy at this stage.

To arrange a free half hour consultation sessions, call me on 07960645654 or email me at franatkinson58@prtonmail.com

What to do now:

As mentioned above, I offer all potential clients a free 30 minute consultation session, without commitment at this stage. This enables us to meet, for you to say what is concerning you, and for us also to discuss professional practice issues around confidentiality, fees, cancellation policy, etc, and any questions you may have for me with regard to my practice or experience. In offering this space, we would hopefully also get a sense of whether it feels right for us to work together. Other options would also be discussed if appropriate.
