Mr Mike Underwood

Counselor

As a counsellor I help people who are held back by anxiety to understand what's going on, and grow confident enough to speak up for themselves. I also help people learn to regulate emotions like anger, resulting in improved relationships.

About Me

I am a counsellor in Wath upon Dearne, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. I offer practical counselling for anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship problems - like trust issues.

Approach

I have a Person-Centred approach, which means you're in control of whatever you wish to talk about and the pace. Let's face it, finding someone to talk to who doeesn't try to 'fix you' would allow the one person who wants to be in charge - you - to find clarity and a way forward. I am a born listener. I am easy to talk to, which is helpful when you need to open up about personal things in therapy. If you wish to see how well we could work as a team on your issues, please phone or email and let's set up a phone or video chat. I offer an initial 30 minutes free to help you work out what to do next.

Basic Information

Services

If you feel you're treading on eggshells, you may also suffer from overthinking, poor concentration, and lack of sleep. Anxiety is a normal reaction to some situations. However, if it becomes long-term, it may seem like it will always be a problem. Anger is another emotion that's also seen as 'bad'. I know from personal experience it can be destructive, but it can also have a positive purpose as a motivator. A proportion of my clients are male, particularly with issues around addictions that affect marriage and children. If you're determined enough, working with me can ensure success in recovery of what you're wanting. I offer relationship counselling for individuals as part of a holistic way of working. You will know if you suffer from any of the above issues that your relationship will be affected too! I have helped many people get their lives back on track, and I would like to help you. I work with individual adults of all ages. Get in touch and book a free consultation.
