Welcome, my name is James Birkett and I'm an Intregative Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I hope I can be of service to you. To help you to decide, let me reveal some more information about myself… I am an registered member of the National Council of Intregative Psychotherapists, Registered Practitioner with the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council, as well as a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychiotherapists,  with over twenty years’ experience in a person centered role.  I adopt an integrative and diverse approach to therapy, utilizing an eclectic mix of psychological strategies and interventions. I tailor my approach to suit the individual needs of each client. My aim is to simply assist them to attain a better quality of life. I offer therapy either in person at my therapy room in Wigan, or On-line or over the telephone if that suits you better. My private practice offers a confidential and non-judgemental space in which to share your problems. After identifying, processing and releasing your troublesome issues, we can explore alternative paths and new ways of being. Let’s remember ‘life is not about finding yourself, it’s about CREATING yourself.’ Counselling may be seen as a vehicle which transports you from your current self to your ideal self. It’s both liberating and empowering to realise that you can become the person you have always wanted to be. If you are unsure as to the best possible course of action for you, please take advantage of the initial free 15 minute telephone consultation I offer.
