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 quell the heat of their anger, stay in control of it, and save their relationships.

About Me

I am a counsellor in Wath upon Dearne, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. I offer practical counselling and psychotherapy for anxiety, ADHD attention difficulties, and low self-esteem.

Approach

In my areas of expertise, I have lots of personal and professional experience that I will use to inform me what questions to ask. That means your therapy should progress smoothly and effectively and not take forever.

I have an integrative approach, which means I can work with whatever communication style you have - it makes therapy easier for you because I am flexible.

I am a born listener. I am easy to talk to, which is helpful when you need to open up about personal things to move forward in therapy. Since your feelings of stress have motivated you to seek help here, be reassured that talking to me will make you feel better. Then if you like, you may continue to deal with any past traumas that you have recalled.

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. Alternatively, your initial one-hour session could be at roughly half price.

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.

I offer relationship counselling for individuals as part of a holistic way of working. You will know if you suffer from either of the above issues that your relationship will be affected too!

How hard life becomes when you are not feeling yourself.

It would appear that the 'old you' was much happier, causing you much worry. You may well wish you could go back in time, but of course, you know that you cannot.

Of course, I cannot help you change the past, but together, we can look at how you view it and improve your quality of life now.

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.
