Your journey. Your pace. Your growth.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Making Tracks Therapy. My name is Rob Rhoades and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term therapy to adult individuals in Wilsden, West Yorkshire & online
I am a qualified mental health counsellor, holding a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling, and I bring a human and friendly approach to my sessions for my clients. I have explored my own path through mental health therapy and found the feeling not only life changing but unique to any other experience. This filled me with a passion to help others feel the same way I did, hence here I am today.


My counselling work is very humanistic and informal. I strive to let the therapy do its work in the background, indeed some of my clients haven't even realised they've been doing work on themselves until we point it out to ourselves. That to me is proper therapeutic work. This benefits you greatly because not only will you make progress on your therapy journey at your pace, you will feel in control of your sessions and as they progress there is a very good chance you will begin to enjoy them and look forward to them. Therapy is very simple if we get it right by working on it together, regardless of how deep or traumatic any issue may seem at first glance.
People come to me for help a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:
Depression
Problems with confidence or self-esteem
Anger management
Issues relating to sexuality
Difficulties at work or in retirement
Problems with family or school life
Feelings of stress or anxiety
Panic attacks
Relationship problems
Grief, loss or bereavement
Problems with addiction
Trauma and post-traumatic stress
Abuse
