Counselling in Fangfoss

I am a fully accredited and experienced Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Psychotherapist, and have worked in Mental Health for over 14 years. I am experienced in working with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, low self esteem, anxiety disorders (such as phobias, generalised anxiety, OCD), eating problems, body image issues, relationship difficulties and trauma/PTSD. My therapy approach is semi structured, and driven by an individual and personalised formulation, typically drawing from CBT, compassion focused therapy (CFT) cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) approaches and EMDR. I offer both long and short term therapy.

Hello, I’m Jonathan, a fully qualified counsellor accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I work in warm, empathetic, and supportively challenging way that seeks to help clients with their difficulties and distress by facilitating self-reflection, and by deepening awareness. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and have experience of working with clients who bring a diverse range of issues, including anxiety and depression, identity related issues, loss of meaning, relationship difficulties, and work and study problems.

I am a person-centred counsellor (with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling), offering online sessions (over Zoom and Google Meet) and face-to-face sessions in East Yorkshire and beyond. If you need support with anxiety and depression, I am here to work with you, by listening, reflecting and developing coping strategies so that you may find the answers you need.

“I believe psychotherapy and counselling is an art – and an art of holding, containing, exploring and making sense of one’s internal and external worlds. I provide compassionate, and creative analytical therapeutic support for those experiencing psychic suffering, distress and emotional pain. ”

If you want to change your situation on the outside, it’s good to start by looking at what you can change on the inside. Perhaps you have serious difficulties finding peace and joy in your life. Your sense of well-being, physically and mentally, may be reduced or destroyed. You might find yourself sliding into unhealthy or even self-destructive behaviours. Your persistent self-doubt leads to anxiety and depression, causing relationship problems and anger issues. You have a feeling that you do not quite know who you are.  Or perhaps you just know “something is not quite right in my life” but you can’t pinpoint what it is.

I am Dr Sari Harenwall, a clinical psychologist based in York and online. I have a several years experience working for the NHS, not for profit organisations and privately. I am passionate about reducing human suffering through the provision of evidence-based therapy and coaching to help people build a more fulfilling life. I specialise in integrative physical and mental health including somatisation where emotional pain manifests itself physically. I have an interest in trauma and the impact on the body as well as anxieties, low mood, relationship problems and compassionate leadership.

Do you struggle with low self-esteem or feel that you’re not good enough ? Do you tend to focus on others, their needs and forget your own ? Perhaps you are finding a particular situation or life event overwhelming ? You might not be able to pinpoint what exactly is bothering you, you just want clarity and to be able to make positive changes in your life.

Are you looking to make sense of things or heal from painful events? You might be experiencing intense feelings, unwanted thoughts or images, or struggling in your parenting, relationships or work. Perhaps your coping strategies are getting in the way of the life you want to lead. You are not alone. I see psychological distress as our brains doing their best to cope with a challenging world. Together we can understand why your brain and body is coping in this way and reach out to those parts of you that are struggling.

Working in York city centre, I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor offering support to adults with a wide range of issues. Perhaps anxiety and low self-esteem are impacting on daily life. Maybe you are struggling with changes that feel out of your control, or feelings of isolation. You may need space to heal after distressing life experiences. These are challenging times and issues that have felt manageable or in the past may have come to the surface. I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where we can work together to help you make sense of your experiences, thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.

Within a homely, confidential and non-judgemental space, we work together to explore your past experiences and how they affect your life today. Due to traumatic periods or incidents (even if many years ago), you may be experiencing an invasion of thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, images and/or sudden overwhelming body sensations. Within a safe relationship, we explore and work to integrate unresolved wounds. We work to identify what happens when these wounds are triggered, creating resources to help you manage and overcome your unwanted responses. While working on your self-acceptance, confidence, and relationships with others

Hello, I'm Andrew a warm, compassionate Relational Integrative Psychotherapist based in North Yorkshire. Are you feeling listless, or perhaps live with anxiety or worry? Do you struggle to focus or have a feeling of being ‘elsewhere’? Do you suspect you might be addicted to work, food, social media, alcohol, legal or illegal drugs? I have lived experience of overcoming large life challenges and I can relate to what you bring to our sessions. I'll be right by your side as we move forward towards your greater sense of all you can be.

Hello, I’m Frances. I offer a caring and supportive space where together we can explore what brings you to therapy. Perhaps you’re struggling with parts of yourself which feel ‘wrong’, not good enough or in real distress. Maybe you feel trapped by repeating patterns in your relationships, or you’re looking to process some of the experiences of your past. This list is by no means exhaustive; it is human nature to experience a range of difficulties but you don’t have to struggle alone, without support.

Are you feeling anxious and distressed? At times do you get frustrated, irritated or angry? Do you have painful unwanted memories or struggle to sleep? Are you feeling sad, low or numb? Are you feeling alone or that no one understands you? Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope? Do you want to feel calmer and more in control? Do you want to understand how your body is reacting and why you can't think straight? Do you want to cope better on a day-to-day basis. As a qualified integrative, relational counsellor I am able to be alongside you and help you to understand your experience.

I aim to provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space for clients to express and explore any difficulties they might be experiencing. I believe the therapeutic rapport between the therapist and client to be a vehicle for transformation and change. I am very client lead in my work and strive to collaboratively work with clients to tailor my approach to best suit what they require from me. Not one size fits all and no one approach is suited for all clients. I believe this outlook encourages clients fostering their individuality and uniqueness. I hope to help clients to feel empowered, confident, and reconnected with themselves.

I am a person-centred counsellor who primarily works with members of the LGBTQ+ community. While mental health issues can be a huge barrier for anyone, for LGBTQ+ people these issues can be magnified. Often LGBTQ+ folks struggle to feel understood, to feel heard, and can suffer social isolation as a result. Coming out, again and again, to ourselves, our friends, our partners all while finding one’s true sense of self, can be a lifelong mission. My outlook on counselling is based on compassion and honesty, and I work to foster an environment where collaboration is encouraged. Find out more at my website www.beyondlineartherapy.com.
