Frank Brinkley

I am currently available to work both in-person (at my practices in Ilkley and in Leeds) and remotely (over Zoom and telephone). Please get in touch for availability.

I’m Frank, a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

Is there something troubling or upsetting you, a part of your life you find yourself unable to ignore or make sense of? Perhaps you’re feeling as though happiness and fulfilment are somehow out of reach, or you’re struggling with longer-term challenges, such as stress, anxiety, low mood or depression. All of these issues, and more, can be addressed in counselling.

I offer space and time in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental environment to allow you to discuss problems and difficult feelings or experiences and aid you in finding a way forwards. Together we work to understand you better and make positive changes in your life.

I spent over a decade working as a writer and an editor, and, at heart, i’m passionate about what it means to be human, with all the messiness, uncertainty and challenges that entails. Therapy can be a space to tell and own your story, to take the pieces that don’t seem to add up and find a new way to fit them together. It can also be a place to let go of the things that no longer serve you, to start on a new chapter in your life.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´). I aim to help adults of all ages and backgrounds with a range of issues.

My fee is £60 per session. Sessions can be in-person at The Grove in Ilkley or Evolve in Leeds, or offered remotely, via Zoom or the telephone.

Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place weekly at the same time. I do also offer fortnightly sessions, but I recommend starting with six weekly sessions to build our working relationship.

I see clients both during the day and in the evening and will try to accommodate you at the earliest possibility. I also am able to offer some concessionary rate sessions – please ask if you think this might apply to you.

In my first session I carry out a brief assessment, so that I can get a better sense of you and you of me. Otherwise, the session is the same as any other: a space for you to explore what’s troubling you.

I offer an initial phone call before a first session to give you a sense of how I work so that you can decide if you want to start sessions with me.

I'm Frank, a person-centred therapist and supervisor in training. While I'm training to be a supervisor, I'm offering my supervision services at a reduced rate. I work in-person in Ilkley on Wednesdays and Thursdays and in Leeds on Tuesdays, as well as online over video call.

If you're a qualified therapist who'd like to work with me, please get in touch. If you're a therapist in training, I can offer you additional supervision, but you'd need to have a qualified supervisor and confirm your training organisation gives you the ok to work with a supervisor in training. In either case, please reach out if you'd like to find out whether I'd be a good fit for you.

My approach to supervision is to create a supportive, caring and exploratory space where you can think creatively about all aspects of your client work and develop your sense of self as a practitioner. I want to work alongside you to get a sense of what's happening in the room for you, as well as bring our curiosity and care to your clients' experiences and challenges.

Supervision serves many purposes: deepening your confidence in your abilities in the room, challenging the way you're working and checking you're on the right track, and even exploring new ideas for CPD or areas for growth and development. All the while, together we keep sight of your clients, their needs and how you can best support them and your wellbeing as a therapist.

I suggest an initial call to discuss practicalities, such as frequency of supervision and your needs. Please let me know when might work for you and I'd be happy to be in touch.
