Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
Hurting people need someone to help them heal. There is no magic wand and there is no magic counsellor for this. It is simply caring and at the same time to deal with trauma that may have been induced when the sentence and prognosis appeared to be pronounced as a sentence which could have been traumatising to the sufferer.

Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
With all immune-related conditions, there tends to be created an entire panoply of feelings that have the capability to weigh down people who have contracted them. In such cases, relational psychotherapy can be very useful in helping to overcome most non-productive feelings that a client might be facing. It can be relatively easy for clients to allow themselves to believe that their lives are somewhat spiralling out of control. What is most prevalent in the first number of sessions with this group of clients is how the shock of diagnosis can be displayed either by complete denial e.g.”I’m fine” or through a course of body modifications such as tattoos, piercings, cosmetic surgery. Amongst gay men who are HIV positive, it is not uncommon to develop an addiction for building as a means of masking their feelings of physical inferiority. Amongst this group, of clients, addictions in many ways forms a ghetto within a ghetto; they are gay men, but trap themselves further by becoming addicted to chemsex. This is quite a positive group to work with in regards to developments.
Equally, a client may bring to therapy an extreme sense of anxiety, brought on by receiving their diagnosis of conditions such as HIV or Hepatitis. Relational Psychotherapy can usefully contribute to assisting with the dispelling of such feelings.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I have experience supporting individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as those impacted by trauma and chemsex-related difficulties, offering a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore the emotional, psychological, and relational impact of diagnosis, stigma, substance use, and long-term health management. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates psychoanalytic, relational, and somatic perspectives to support each client’s unique journey. I also draw on psychoeducation and may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) where appropriate to support emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Whether you are navigating grief, identity, relationships, intimacy, or the ongoing experience of living with a chronic condition or trauma history, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and the development of resilience.

Wakefield is a West Yorkshire city with a post-industrial character rooted in coal mining and textiles, and while the city has worked to develop a cultural identity anchored by significant art institutions—the Hepworth Wakefield gallery and the internationally renowned Yorkshire Sculpture Park are both located in and around the city—the underlying economic challenges of post-mining communities remain defining for many residents. NHS mental health services are provided through South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, and a private therapy sector serves those who can access it. The legacy of deindustrialisation shapes how mental health is understood and accessed in an area where talking about struggle has not historically been normalised. Common therapy concerns include economic stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the community identity challenges of a city whose artistic ambitions coexist with significant deprivation in some neighbourhoods.
