ABOUT ABC COACHING
ABC Coaching & Counselling
Services, for CENT/CBT/REBT, in Halifax, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, UK. And in the USA, Canda, Ireland, India, Australasia;

ABOUT CENTCOUNSELLING Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT) combines elements of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (or Dr Albert Ellis's
REBT), general Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (or Dr Aaron Beck's CBT), Transactional Analysis (or Dr Eric Berne's TA), Zen Philosophy,
and Object Relations theory: to help clients to resolve their emotional, behavioural and relationship problems quickly and
efficiently.
ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Jim Byrne uses CENT counselling
and therapy to help people overcome their anger, anxiety, depression, stress, low self esteem, couple conflict, and general
emotional misery, behavioural dysfunction and poor thinking skills. His clients acquire greater emotional intelligence, resilience
and coping capability.
THE KEY EQUATION Happiness
(or calm serenity) plus success (or some level of meaningful goal achievement) plus mutually
satisfying relationships (at least one) equals "good mental health".

"If you think counselling is expensive, try self-neglect!"

If you want to be successful in life, practice extreme self care!
Are you suffering emotionally? Do you feel unhappy much
of the time? Do you have problems that you cannot solve on your own? If so, then I can help you with a range of
counselling, coaching and psychotherapy skills.
“Helping you to overcome your emotional, behavioural and relationship problems”
Here are some video clips to
help you to get a flavour of the ABC Coaching and Counselling Services approach to counselling and therapy:

The first clip is a brief introduction to Dr Jim Byrne, ABC Coaching and Counselling Services,

importance of taking responsibility for your own life, as the essential foundation for any form of successful counselling
process.

to Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT), which is the form of counselling and therapy created and used by Dr Jim Byrne.
There are at least 16 videos on the 16 Counselling Videos page.

some of which are original creations by Dr Jim Byrne, while others are borrowed from REBT, TA, Reality Therapy,
and other systems of counselling and therapy.

Here's a quick introduction to the subject 'What is Counselling?'
Quick consultation
If you have an emotional, behavioural or relationship problem, and you have not been able to resolve
it on your own, or with help from others, then please consider discussing it with me for five minutes, by telephone to see
how well we would work together. For a free 5 minute telephone consultation, please
call me on:
If you don’t feel like phoning me immediately, or using email, you could take a look at one of the video clips above,
in which I define what counseling is, and talk about my own system of counseling and therapy, and also describe some of the
counselling models that I use. That will give you some kind of sense of who I am and what it might be like to have counselling,
coaching or therapy sessions with me. Watching the videos would not be as good as a telephone conversation, but it might
be enough. You might also want to watch the following video, which provides additional information on the nature of
Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT):

Distinguishing CENT counselling
from REBT therapy
I was originally trained as an REBT therapist, and then went on to study 13 different
systems of counselling and psychotherapy; and then began to integrate some of those systems with REBT, to produce Cognitive
Emotive Narrative Therapy. But what exactly are the differences between CENT and REBT? This video clip begins
to answer that question by reviewing three major distinctions between these two overlapping systems of counseling:

The Happiness Blog illustrates the application of CENT counselling to problems of daily living, and describes the models and components of this
system of counselling.
About Dr Jim Byrne is a page of information on my counselling and therapy education, training, accreditation and background experience.
The Unsolicited Client Testimonials page lists a few of the notes that I received from former clients, explaining what they got from my counselling services, and
expressing their gratitude for my help. There is then a link to a second, longer list of testimonials from earlier counselling
and therapy clients.
