Dianne Hollingworth

I work Monday to and including Thursday, 10.00am to 6.30pm with the last appointment being at 5.30pm.

I'm a CBT trained counsellor, offering Life Coaching for adults, couples and young people over 16. My approach is more holistic and integrative where I combine techniques for helping immediately with exploring where issues may have begun.  My career has always been connected with helping and supporting people, from working for the police, to supporting students in secondary and higher education. I work from a quiet and convenient location, with free parking, on a regular bus route or 10 minute drive, just 3 miles out of Huddersfield town centre.   

My sessions are 50 minutes long with 10 minutes at the end to summarize and close, pay and organize our next meeting. I'll never tell you what to do, but suggest ways in how to look at things in a stronger way. I'll help you to look at your thought patterns; notice when and why your nervous system is activated, and the life scripts you might be living by. 

Prior to our first session, I often send out a simple questionnaire beforehand, which is optional. It can be really helpful for both of us as it gives me some background information and starts you off on your journey, thinking about how issues are impacting you and how you are coping.

Our first session will be about exploring what has brought you to counselling at this time and an important part of this first session is to see if we can work together. We can then make a plan to move forward with what is best suited for you.

If you are a trainee counsellor, I offer a lower rate and also to students that are studying fulltime at university.
