My name is Anthony Wood, and I am the owner and C.E.O of a phew services ltd. I am a fully qualified counsellor. I have years of experience in many different aspects of complex mental health. I have worked with both children and adults within schools, hospitals, agencies, and charities providing mental health services. I run both youth and adult groups, programs and training throughout the year and have a lot of experience with client work.
I understand that taking the first steps to begin counselling may be daunting for some and that is why I prioritize the need for a warm, non-judgmental, empathic, and confidential environment that provides you with a safe space to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings and experience of life.
I facilitate your needs whether it be home visits, online sessions, walking therapy or my counselling rooms based on the Wirral. I can work with ages starting from 12 upwards and welcome anyone to access my services.
Qualifications in counselling:
I am fully qualified as an integrative counsellor which means I can use different types of approaches, but I will always start the session person centred. This means to build trust and a working relationship, I let the client lead me into their experience and let them prioritise their concerns while listening and asking open questions when needed. This technique helps the client to start to answer their own questions and solutions while listening and helping you reflect and explore your past or present problems. After a few sessions we will work together to agree what counselling approach would be most beneficial and appropriate and we work towards progress, growth and closure.
I can offer help with the following subjects:
Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Bereavement, Loss, Abuse, Health related issues, confidence and Self-esteem, Co-parenting, relationship issues, work related issues, stress, trauma, social media, Peer pressure, School problems, Self-harming or suicidal thoughts, overthinking, negative thoughts, phobias, adictions, Neurodiversity, Infertility, personal development, acceptance, self-image, and identity issues.
