Female Counselling in Halifax

As a midwife and birth trauma therapist I have realised that sadly most women who experience trauma through the childbearing experience aren’t getting the help they need. Instead this emotional wound is left unhealed and the consequence permeate through their thoughts, emotions, decisions and relationships. What would it feel like to truly let go of negative thoughts and emotions from your previous traumatic experience, get clarity and create space for a positive new future? How You Feel Matters - because pregnancy, birth and parenting are more than physical event.

Are you having relationship problems? Do you feel stressed or anxious or depressed? Have you lost someone important to you? (This can be a pet as well as a person.) Are things from your past affecting how you live your life now? Would you like some help untangling your thoughts and feelings? If any of these things apply to you, you could benefit from psychotherapy. I am a UKCP psychotherapist in training and now have spaces to offer low cost therapy. Take a look at my website for more information www.alisonwaterspsychotherapy.co.uk

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.

I offer a confidential space for people who are looking for help to understand and manage long standing difficulties, past traumas, recent distressing experiences or who simply want to better manage life's inevitable challenges. Whether you have a diagnosis of a mental health condition or not, I am passionate about supporting people with emotional pain and teaching evidence based ways to help people live the life they want.

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.

If you want to feel more connected to your body, move past trauma and be in the world with confidence and ease, 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.

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.

Hi my name is Sarah. I work with children and young people. 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,

It could be that you’ve become stuck worrying about the future, or you’ve got some big stuff in your head that’s getting in the way of moving forwards and it’s time to do something with it so that you can move on. Maybe there is fear and anxiety of making change, or you feel stressed and sad? Or maybe there is some unavoidable unhappiness in that is in the background of your life?

Each of us deserves a happy life. However, life can be difficult to navigate at times and working with a professional can help you overcome challenges more effectively. Whether you're going through a major life change or are facing a situation that interferes with your sense of security, it's important to know that you don't have to cope alone. Maybe you feel stuck in self-limiting beliefs, feel trapped in a relationship or career that no longer fulfils you or feel low without understanding why. Therapy can help you achieve a greater understanding of yourself and others, boost your resilience and improve your emotional wellbeing.

It is a bit scary deciding if you need counselling, wondering what it will be like, fitting it into your life, maintaining it.
