Andrew Hope

My preferred days for private practice are Monday and Tuesday each week, 9am to 5pm, but I can also work flexibly, including one or two evenings a week.

If you would like to book an appointment please email me on ardhope@talktalk.net or phone on 07762445269.

 I am a fully qualified and accredited (MBACP) counsellor and psychotherapist, (MA, DIP in PC Counselling), trained in Integrative Counselling Practice (inc CBT, cognitive behaviour therapy) and Person Centred Therapy, which I believe provides the right support for each individual person.

I also use other models such as attachment theory and Transactional Analysis, for example as tools to facilitate self understanding and growth.

I have extensive experience of individual counselling and 20 years experience within the NHS in the field of mental health.

 I offer a specialist service of working with mental health and issues related to spirituality, sensitive to a wide variety of needs. This includes depression, general anxiety disorder, OCD, personality disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis and hearing voices etc. 

The tendency to be preoccupied with medication and symptomology can leave people feeling isolated and stuck with a diagnosis they do not understand. We need to address the stigma of initial psychiatric assessment, begin to understand underlying and contributing factors, and help to find solutions or develop coping strategies for often ongoing and distressing symptoms.

You may want to explore issues that relate to faith, spirituality or personal beliefs, essential to the meaning and purpose of life. Traumatic or judgemental experiences can have a crippling effect upon our lives, causing us to feel lost with no personal identity or hope for tomorrow.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental and therapeutic environment that will help you to explore the things in life really important to you.

I practice from a comfortable office at home in Heanor, easily accessible to both Derby and Nottingham.

Once you have booked a appointment, the first session is spent usually making an assessment concerning the issues you are facing. We can then decide how best we can work together, and what your aims or goals for counselling are. Building  regular reviews is helpful and will ensure you receive the right kind of support, and that your needs are being met, whether short or longer term.

My main working days for supervision sessions are Mondays and Tuesdays each week, 9am to 5 pm, but I can also work flexibly.

If you would like to have an initial discusion regarding supervision, or book an appointment, please email me on ardhope@talktalk.net or telephone on 07762445269.

I am a fully qualified and accredited supervisor (SPTI Diploma in Clinical Supervision) (MA, DIP in PC Psychotherapy).

I offer clinical support and a space for counsellors and supervisees to explore their own feelings and responses to their client work. A space to grow, learn and develop both personally and in your counselling or supervisory practice.

I have extensive experience of working in the field of mental health, in the NHS, and with a wide variety of presentations.

I practice from a pleasant garden office near to Shipley Park.

I like to encourage openness to explore transference, counter transference and parallel process in our sessions, in a supportive environment. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the dynamics, not only between the client and therapist, but also in the supervisee/supervisor relationship.

The first session we can spend getting to know each other, and how we can work together to provide you with the best ongoing support. I believe coaching personal development and confidence, as well as professional competence, is equally important.

We will also establish the contract between us and other issues such as confidentiality and ethical boundaries etc.
