Discretion assured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>    <strong>NOTE<\/strong>: Also available as an experienced Consultant, Educator, Speaker and Facilitator (I\u2019ve spoken \/ taught for 7 UK Universities, the NHS, and for many other national events and organisations. Get in touch if you would like me to speak, teach, facilitate or hold a workshop for you. Also an Author.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WHERE<\/strong>: currently online only via Zoom or Skype, whether local, national or international. In person only when pandemic restrictions allow and I feel the risk is minimal; shielding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WHEN<\/strong>: at a mutually convenient time for you and me. One hour, between the hours of 10am and 8pm, Monday\u2019s, Tuesday\u2019s and Thursday\u2019s. Weekly or fortnightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WHY<\/strong>: focusing on self-development and personal growth. Dealing with pattern repeating, childhood issues, trauma, abuse, bereavement and loss, sexuality, sexual issues\/trauma\/abuse, gender, anger, anxiety, depression, stress and relationships. Also diversity, intersectional and situational struggles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: I also do \u2018<strong>walking therapy<\/strong>\u2019 when possible outdoors, provide longer sessions ad hoc where needed, and finally I run one-on-one <strong>Intensives <\/strong>for individual clients over two days. If you would like further information on this offerings, please use the contact page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FURTHER INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>APPROACH<\/strong>: I utilize tools within our sessions as appropriate and relevant for you as the client. I work from an Integrative perspective, coming from core psycho-dynamic training but pulling on specific tools and resources that I incorporate from other theories, dependent on individual client needs. Psycho-education, equipping you with understanding, skills, techniques and strategies. Other skills\/tools at my disposal may be offered if appropriate or relevant to a particular client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VOLUNTARY WORK<\/strong>: I provided Counselling on a voluntary basis on behalf of the charity M.I.N.D. for two years. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PATREON:<\/strong> I also run a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/dkleather\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/dkleather\">Patreon<\/a> (please become a Patron and help fund this vital work) so that I can offer (limited) part-bursary paid places for those less privileged by reason of gender, sexuality, ability, race.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SUPERVISION<\/strong>: personal supervision provides somewhere for the therapist to discuss or seek advice from professional peers. It is recommended within industry guidelines for both your protection, and ours. Note: supervisory conversations are kept 100% confidential via client anonymity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TRAINING<\/strong>: I am a passionate advocate for C.P.D. (continuous professional development). This means I continue with training courses and further ongoing training in as many areas as I can manage to fit in. For example I completed an excellent 40 hour bereavement counselling course. I have completed many additional training courses; for example mental health awareness, self harm, trauma in the body, etc. I also completed the two year PGDip (Post Graduate Diploma) in GSRD (Gender, sexuality, relationship diversities) with Pink Therapy. I am also an Advanced Accredited Therapist and a Clinical Associate with Pink Therapy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OTHER SKILLS<\/strong>: additional studies in N.L.P. (neuro-linguistic programming), life coaching and cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy. Useful, additional skills in my tool-kit for assisting you to overcome your personal challenges. I&#8217;ve even taught clients to meditate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DIVERSITY<\/strong>: some topics are traditionally shied away from during counselling. Clients are concerned that they may be judged or pathologized when discussing certain topics. For the record I have a thorough grasp and familiar grounding within many areas, therefore you need not worry that your &#8216;issue&#8217; is something I might not understand. LGBTQIA+ (including diversities such as intersex, ace&#8217;, aro&#8217; etc) CNM\/ENM (consensual\/ethical non-monogamy) including polyamory, spirituality, transgender, tantra, role-play or power exchange, kink\/fetish, BDSM, and Leather. Intersectionality within complexities of culture, physical ability, health, and neurodivergence are also well within my fields of experience. If in doubt that your particular challenge is something I&#8217;d be willing to help you with, please feel free to just ask.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SPIRITUALITY<\/strong>: those who know me from elsewhere will testify that I have a certain level of spiritual understanding (not religion). My understanding of spirituality encompass meditation, shamanism, paganism, and Tarot as a life path progression and self-development tool, being a Celebrant (for handfastings, name blessings etc.,) and more. For some people this is irrelevant. I include it here because for some it is relevant.
