Counselling in Gomersal

Perhaps something has shifted in your thoughts/feelings/behaviour that’s uncomfortable, or maybe you’ve decided to explore a long-standing issue. I help my clients achieve their therapeutic goals either by discussing their current or past issues through counselling/psychotherapy or some clients also opt to have hypnotherapy with me too (you can read about that on my website). I offer empathy, confidentiality, safety and opportunity to explore their feelings in a therapeutic relationship. I'm not here to pass judgement or advise but instead I'm here to help you navigate the highs and lows.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 5 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

I am a fully qualified member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their code of ethical standards.

Counselling: I help people who are struggling with binge eating, anxiety and disordered eating. Do you wish you could feel at peace with food? Do you feel guilty and ashamed about what you eat? What would your life look like if you were not worried or always thinking about food ? What if instead of anxious you felt calm? Perhaps you would spend more time and energy with loved ones or would have space to engage with activities that bring you joy and fulfilment. Counselling can help you make sense of your struggle. It can increase your self-awareness and help you improve your relationship with food and reduce anxiety.
