Counselling in Halifax

If you want to feel more connected to your body, move past trauma and be in the world with confidence and ease, but you're struggling; this is the space for you. If you wish you could express yourself and feel alive, but your feelings are overwhelming you, or you have lost contact with them altogether, then we can work with this. The good news is that you have all you need inside you to build a better life - I know this from my own experience and from guiding many others. There's an alternative to the traditional talking therapies: movement as a language of healing; a space to explore your relationship with yourself and your body.
Kerry Slater
Counsellor, MA, MBACP
Verified
I have a MA in Psychotherapy and a PG Dipolma and PG Cert in Counselling, I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am an Integrative Therapist which can be confusing lingo in psychological therapies but basically means I adapt my practice to meet the needs of my clients. Counselling isn’t really one size fits all because people are different - and so are their life stories - so working together we can look at interventions that might help.

I am a Play therapist who works primarily with children aged 4 to 12. Children often show their need for help through their behaviour. They may be struggling to form friends, getting into trouble at school, falling behind in their learning etc. There are many reasons a child may benefit from therapy. These may include abuse, domestic violence, loss of a loved one (including a pet), bullying, divorce, illness. You may not even know why the child is struggling, just that they are. By the end of therapy I hope that the child will feel happier in themselves and will have developed more resiliance to be able to manage future events.

Ross Charnock
Psychotherapist, MBABCP
Verified
I am an experienced psychotherapist with a strong track record helping patients recover within the NHS. I offer a safe, consistent setting in private practice to enable change that is not always possible within time-limited therapy. My ongoing training in psychodynamic psychotherapy means there is more bandwidth in my practice to help patients with a range of anxiety specific disorders and depression, including trauma, understand themselves more fully. I help patients understand that the world we live in often makes us internalise blame and we might avoid more healthy ways of depending on others, which can affect our relationships.

Counselling can provide us with an opportunity to explore our thoughts and emotions in order to gain a greater understanding of who we are and what we have experienced. Talking to someone in a warm, friendly and safe environment can be an extremely powerful and healing experience and can help you feel less isolated and more able to make sense of your life circumstances.

Tina Young Counselling Services
Counsellor, BACP

Hi, I'm Tina and I work using the Person-Centred Approach offering one to one counselling, in a non-judgemental and non-directive way. I advocate this theory as I enjoy helping people realise their potential and become who they want to be! This particularly helps those who are drawn to exploring their own thoughts and feelings. Counselling is not about ‘fixing’ problems as such, it is about changing your understanding and view of the problems, enabling you to work towards living in a way that you find more satisfying.

My focus when working with children and young people is to find a way to work with them to help with all of their areas of difficulty, from emotional to school and the variety of difficulties they can experience. I find that children and young people feel most comfortable when they have routine, so the children will always have the same time and day each week, this helps build rapport. I specialise in inclusive therapies which means I can use a variety of techniques which will best support each child individually. From behaviour, emotion, learning, social difficulties,
