WHY US?

 

With so many therapist out there now, it's good to know why choose Chris Rudyard's Counselling for Liverpool to work with. 

​

1) You get to choose & book your own appointments via my website. It saves the time and leg work of going back and forth trying to find times that are convenient for both you and the therapist.

2) My office is a 'away from it all'. It's sometimes good to get away from your normal place.

3) No notes will go onto your medical records. I've heard of notes in large organisations being shared and accessed by any other person who works there. Only I work in my practice.

4) There are usually no restricted number of sessions – it is up to you and I (more you, though). Some charity and NHS services are restricted on the number of sessions they can offer. Sometimes it's 4-6, it can take this long for you to start to open up and identify things to work on.

5) A clean and comfortable room to be in. I have a large room, so you won't be sat uncomfortably close. For one reason and another you need more personal space...

6) Counselling For Liverpool Ltd. is a truly independent, non-corporate service, and not affiliated with any other businesses, Ai services, counselling organisations, statutory services e.g. social services etc.

7) As an independent service, and independent practitioner, this creates a number of benefits Inc. you only need to deal with me - start to finish, tighter confidentiality. No information is passed around other therapists, managers, supervisors and/or admin staff. You won't bump into your last therapist in the corridor..

8) I am fully qualified, trained in more than one approach (Person Centred or CBT are the main therapies most therapists are trained in). In addition, I'm trained in many other approaches including: AEDP, DBR, IFS Therapy, EMDR, Eye Movement Integration, Brainspotting therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy – these are not all available through the NHS or many other local organisations. This means that I'm more flexible and can help you on a much deeper level (see my experience and training here https://www.counsellingforliverpool.com/qualifications--experience.html​)

9) I bring over 20 years experience with a vast amount of training. A brand new therapist will only have IRO 100 experience in counselling and very limited additional training if any. 

10) Good quality tissues always available - if you see me online, you'll have to use your own…
