ABOUT CENT COUNSELLING
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".

Long distance counselling 

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 Accreditation and Ethics page explains my validation as a professional counsellor, and my combined ethics codes.

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.
