Mr Brian Turner

Counselor

About Me

I provide a warm, confidential space to explore what’s on your mind. With comprehensive training in Counseling, hypnotherapy, and CBT, I help individuals navigate a range of life's difficulties. We can work together to understand your unique situation and develop practical strategies for managing challenging emotions. My aim is for you to feel truly heard. We can work towards gaining clarity and finding a way forward that feels right.

Approach

Sessions focus on turning immediate concerns into small, manageable steps so feelings feel less overwhelming and choices clearer. I offer in-person work in Wakefield and secure online appointments in English, keeping pace that suits you — steady if you need containment, more active if you want practical change. We use short, targeted exercises, calming grounding, reflective work and simple between-session tasks or safety planning when needed, all tailored to your rhythm. This way of working often helps adults coping with anxiety, loss or intense stress.
