Depression Counselling in Anlaby

I'm Caroline Hudson, a BACP accredited counsellor with over 20 years experience in a range of settings. I run a therapy centre in Beverley which offers individual counselling/psychotherapy, couples counselling and family therapy with experienced counsellors and psychotherapists.

I work with people who are facing difficult life issues, some feel depressed and/or anxious, and unsure how to get out of the life position they find themselves in. Others experience problems managing difficult emotions caused by grief or loss and find themselves in a maze of emotions that feel impossible to navigate. Some experience relational problems; families, partners, work colleagues and other relationships can sometimes be at the centre of hard to mange emotions. I tailor therapy to your needs, we can set goals, explore how we and others function in relationships, or use techniques; I leave these choices to you.

Acknowledging that you are struggling to cope with the daily life is hard and the first step to taking control of your life. Often people don’t feel that their problems are worth contacting a therapist about, as "others have it worse" and try to push the uncomfortable feelings away and carry on. Therapy isn't about blaming yourself or passing responsibility it's about working together with another individual to validate your experiences and understand your patterns of behaviour. We will then work together to help you make positive changes for a more fulfilled life. I am a therapist and supervisor and work with teens and adults.

Often, I hear the phrase “others have it far worse than me…” and where there may be a truth in that phrase, I believe YOU are just as important. This is the ethos of my practice. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to talk, be heard, your personal experience validated and for positive change to occur. I have also experienced personal therapy so understand how daunting the first step can be; at first I found it scary, challenging but always supportive and it gave me a greater self-belief and deeper understanding of myself that I continue using today.

You may be seeking help for a number of reasons: You may be feeling unhappy or angry without understanding why; you may be feeling anxious or depressed; you may be experiencing mood swings which are difficult to manage; you may be experiencing hallucinations. Whatever your problem, you are in distress and looking for help in restoring your sense of well-being. As a Clinical Psychologist, trained in a variety of different therapeutic modalities, I will explore with you the reasons for your distress, and agree a programme of treatment adapted to your particular needs.

I know from my own ongoing therapy journey just how challenging it can be to make the first contact with a counsellor. I offer a free session of 30 minutes online or on the phone so you can 'meet' me in the comfort of your own home, without obligation. You may be suffering from anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, addiction or be experiencing any other mental health difficulty. I am here to join you on your journey to feeling better. I’ll help you move forward in a way that is right for you.

I offer a space to talk, giving you time out to reflect and to explore self-development. As an Integrative Relational Therapeutic Counsellor, I draw on different models of therapy including Psychodynamic, Systemic, Interpersonal Process, CBT, Transactional Analysis amongst others in supporting you to reach your desired goals to maximise your full potentials. Meaning, you will find my approach friendly, empowering and conversational in style. I take great care in ensuring that you feel safe, respected and valued. I offer flexibility of short or long term therapy as tailored round your needs. I adhere to the ethics & codes of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.

I support clients facing a range of personal challenges, including bereavement and loss, anxiety and depression, PTSD, as well as those wanting to explore a deeper personal development and growth. I work with clients who are looking to better understand themselves and their relationships with others, those healing from complex trauma, and people recovering from emotional, spiritual and sexual abuse. I work creatively with my clients providing a sacred, safe and brave space for deep transformational healing. Together, we will work holistically with the body, mind, and spirit to explore and better understand our human experience.

Life can leave us feeling "wounded". At times life can feel confusing, difficult, painful, miserable, and so much more. In those moments we need to talk because holding it all in can be even more agonising. It may be that you are unsure of what it is you would like to explore, or you are aware that something does not feel right, or you don't know who you are anymore. Talking about the things that are affecting your life can transform YOU, because talking aims to help you deal with and overcome things that are causing you emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable. Talking can offer you a safe space to explore yourself.

I am a HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist currently working in the NHS and private sector. I have a range of experience in offering expert psychological assessment and therapy to adults and children with mental health difficulties.

Hello, I'm Paul and I understand how embarking on therapy can be really challenging which is something I understand from my own therapy journey. I a qualified integrative therapist & offer a free 20 minute consultation as I believe it's really important working with the right therapist. Feeling stuck? Unfulfilled? Lonely? Overly Self Critical? Low Self Esteem? In Destructive Relational Patterns? Or want to make positive changes in your life? Whilst reaching out for support can be a real challenge, it takes real strength & courage to share vulnerable aspects of our self, and in turn that's where we can grow & develop as individuals.

The decision to have counselling is a really brave one, and it might be difficult to know if it’s the right time for you. You can have counselling for all sorts of reasons, and there’s no such thing as a right or wrong one. You might be feeling overwhelmed or anxious; perhaps you’ve experienced a bereavement or a relationship breakdown, or you might not know what the reason is, and that is okay. Sometimes therapy is difficult, and it can bring up things that are hard to face, but you don’t have to do so alone.

Hi, I think we all go through things in life that shape us and affect us in some way. Some of those things are very positive for us and some not so much. We can often feel stuck in a particular place or a pattern of thinking or behaviour perhaps. We know it doesn't feel right but we seem unable to do anything about it.
