About David Wootton
My name is David Wootton and I am a privately practicing, person-centred counsellor. I offer one-to-one therapy for a wide range of issues including relationship issues, affairs, depression, stress/ anxiety, low self-esteem, family related issues, bereavements, culture related issues, sexual and domestic abuse, bullying, self-harm and concerns relating to sexual identity.
My priority is to offer a professional, welcoming and flexible service. Short or long-term counselling is always negotiable and I am often able to work with clients who have irregular shift patterns at work or inflexible childcare arrangements.
The focus of the counselling is to work at a pace and depth that feels right for you in order to help you make the changes that you really want in your life. I am also able to work creatively if necessary: drawing, poetry, letter-writing and "emotional-literacy" cards can be extermely useful ways of helping you to compliment the words that you use and help you develop a more comprehensive understanding of your situation.
All contact, therapeutic or otherwise will be treated as strictly confidential: before, during and after the counselling has taken place.
If you feel that you would like to ask me any questions at all then feel free to phone or email me or use the "contact page" on my website www.davidwoottoncounselling.co.uk. I will not try to convince you that you need counselling. however I will always leave the door open for you if you decide that this is what you want.
My training, work experience and any achievement
Dip HE Therapeutic Counselling
Member BACP
My final two years of training involved working in The University of Bradford counselling service, providing counselling for both staff and students. The service is very well established and professionally organised. Whilst there, I cultivated my style as an open, flexible and warm counsellor. I deeply enjoyed working with clients from a particularly diverse range of cultural backgrounds.
I also trained with a local counselling organisation which accepted private and primary-care referrals. I continued to work there as a professional counsellor and assessor before deciding to work independently as a private practitioner.
I currently rent therapy rooms in Keighley and Leeds where I accept private/ self referral clients and Employee Assistance Programme referrals.
