Darren Northeast

I welcome new clients looking to seek help in and around Bournemouth, Poole and Wimborne areas.   I have access to therapy rooms all around the local area.   

I also offer telephone and online appointments for individuals, but my preference is face to face.  Couples therapy clients always need to be face to face.   

I'm currently working with all new enquiries, and have some availability within a matter of days.   

I work with all clients, anyone needing space to explore, understand and process where they are but I do have a high number of male clients.   I find that male clients often feel more comfortable in working in a male-to-male counselling environment, which I'm happy to offer.

I welcome all new enquiries, and anyone that is looking to reach out for the help and support they need - and deserve.

I offer a safe and secure space for you to explore, identify and work through your problems, challenges and difficult feelings. All of our work is confidential (there are some exceptions), all of which is explained to you during our first initial session.

Through our counselling sessions I can assist in helping you to discover yourself and understand more about how you operate and why you react the way you do to people or events around you. As well as uncovering coping mechanisms which may equip you going forward.

I work with clients on a one to one basis, as well as offering couples therapy.   

I offer an initial telephone assessment (around 15/20) so we can begin to get to know each other, then we decide if we'd like to book in with our first face to face session where we look at how everything works and go through a contract based around our working arrangement.

We can then begin our work together in the counselling session from then on in, and book in a number of sessions to suit - at least they are then diarised and we're ready to begin.

I am availability at various times during the week, evenings and Saturday mornings.   I mainly work in Wimborne, but can access therapy rooms in Charminster, Westbourne and Poole.

Welcome to my profile page! My aim is to provide you with a safe and supportive space for any male client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, a compassionate and client-centered approach that respects your individuality and fosters growth and self-awareness.

Confidentiality is of utmost importance in our counseling relationship. You can trust that all information shared within our sessions will be kept confidential, except in cases where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, as mandated by ethical and legal guidelines.

In our counseling sessions, your experiences, perspectives, and goals will guide the direction of our work together. I encourage open and honest communication, and I am committed to actively listening to your concerns without judgment. Together, we will collaboratively explore your thoughts and feelings, identify strengths, and work towards meaningful and sustainable solutions that align with your values and aspirations.

I am a dedicated counsellor with extensive experience in supporting male clients through various life challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and acceptance. I aim to create a non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself openly and honestly.

I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues that may affect male clients, including but not limited to:

Emotional Well-being: Exploring and processing emotions such as anger, sadness, anxiety, and depression in a safe and supportive environment.

Relationship Issues: Navigating challenges in intimate relationships, family dynamics, friendships, and workplace interactions.

Identity and Self-Exploration: Facilitating exploration of identity, masculinity, self-esteem, and personal values.

Stress Management: Developing healthy coping strategies to manage stress, pressure, and life transitions effectively.

Trauma and Healing: Supporting healing from past trauma or adverse experiences through a compassionate and empowering approach.

Life Transitions: Assisting with adjustment to significant life changes such as career transitions, parenthood, retirement, or loss.

After our first initial 'get to know each other' discovery call we can then go onto book our first session...

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing, I am here to support you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out to schedule a confidential appointment, and let's work together to create positive change in your life.

Remember, you are not alone. Your well-being is important, and seeking support is a courageous step towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.
