Welcome to Dave Barthram, Counselling, Life Coaching, Mentoring & Supervision

What do you want to work on?:
Is it how to act in a current crisis, how to reduce your level of stress, how to save your present relationship or whether you still want to be in it? Do you want to come to terms with a bereavement, of a family member or pet, to reconcile yourself with redundancy or retirement, to deal with a sense of abandonment or to accept yourself as an only child? With the counselling techniques I use, I can help you to find your own answers to the questions you are asking and the feelings you are experiencing.

About me:
I am a counsellor, life coach, mentor and supervisor. I offer life coaching, executive coaching, brief and long term counselling, non-managerial mentoring, counselling supervision and a new approach to life using the universal law of attraction as written about in, “Excuse me, your life is waiting” by Lynn Grabhorn.

I offer couples counselling if you want to address relationship issues. I counsel and coach individuals on a range of issues, eg relationship, bereavement, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, low self confidence, stress, redundancy, retirement, career counselling, professional development, work related issues, spirituality and life stage work. I have a growing supervision practice. I enjoy non managerial mentoring of managers who want to change the culture in their organisation or simply be the best that they can be.

A counselling supervisor and former facilitator of Human Relations Diploma courses with the Oasis School of Human Relations in Boston Spa, I am an accredited member of the Counselling Society.

Check me out:
So, if you are looking for counselling, life coaching, mentoring or supervision or perhaps you are not sure what you want, phone or e-mail me to find out if I am the person to help you. I offer a first session free just for that reason. I am happy to offer spiritual healing if requested.

Where do I Work?:
I practice in Ilkley and Otley in West Yorkshire and Skipton in North Yorkshire. Being on the borders of West and North Yorkshire, close to Leeds and Bradford, many of the people I work with live in Leeds, Bradford and surrounding areas of West Yorkshire. I also meet with people who live in Harrogate, Skipton and Settle in North Yorkshire and Barnoldswick in Lancashire. However, I have had clients come to me from Cumbria, Northumberland and even Spain!

How do I Work?:
I believe you do not have to be poorly to get better. You just have to want to get more out of life. Whilst I work with stress, bereavement, relationship issues, anxiety and life crises, I also work to help you to recognise and use your own individual guidance system and to help you to feel good about yourself and become more confident. I use your personal experience as the basis for whatever changes you need to make.

I evaluate my work in frequent supervision sessions where I am always looking to develop my practice.
