This is my first and therefore brand-new website, so it's basic and simple. I will expand it as I go along. However, through feedback from you, I will be able to recognise what needs changing and improving, so don't be shy to let me know what you think. My name is Kurt Hampel. I am a humanistic integrative therapist, counsellor & life coach, working in the North Wales/Wirral/Liverpool/West Cheshire area.
I have worked in this capacity for nearly two decades. My own life was in a mess through alcohol abuse. I sought assistance from AA, who helped me to stay sober for long enough to realise that alcohol was only a symptom, not the cause of my misery. After 6 months of sobriety I decided this couldn't be it, there must be more to life than that. I met up with an enlightened human being, who was my first counsellor.
She helped me to realise that my life could be brilliant, if only I would approach it differently. Her input had such an impact on me that I decided to start training. Over the years, I have learnt a vast range of models, the majority at Keele University, where I had the privilege of working with Val Harding Davies, John McLeod and many more over a period of 4 years.

Services
There are probably as many definitions as there are practitioners.
In counselling, there are many different approaches; however, the goal is pretty much always the same: to improve the quality of life for our clients.
The practitioner is accepting (not necessarily condoning) of the client as a human being, has respect for and is sincere with the client.
The counsellor helps the client devise and utilise their own resources and come up with solutions of their own.
This is generally a gentle approach where the client develops in their own time.
