Sexual Abuse Counselling in Halifax

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.

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

Experiencing unwanted, anxious feelings that are getting in the way of how you live each day? Unhappy in your closest relationships and looking for more? Questioning your ability to go to work and fulfil the job you're expected to do? Anxious about how you're going to cope with all that's coming your way? Thoughts from things in the past resurface reminding you of things you'd rather forget? Questioning yourself and going over and over what to do, how things could have been different, will life ever be ok again? Life going OK then something happens? Wondering who you can talk to? Who'll have the time to listen? Who can help?

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,

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 really enjoy working with anyone who wants to make changes in their life, however small. I am here to help and walk with you while you make these changes

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?

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.

It is a bit scary deciding if you need counselling, wondering what it will be like, fitting it into your life, maintaining it. There will be many questions running through your head, and maybe, right now, no answers. And that's okay. It isn't an easy decision but once it is made, those feelings will start to move. If you chose to work with me, the first session will be getting to know what will help. Offering Person Centred Counselling, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Expressive and Creative Arts, we will look at which intervention suits you and which would be best for the difficulties you are experiencing.

Are you experiencing relationship problems, inner conflicts or life stresses? It can help to find someone who is empathic and skilled who offers a safe space in which to share these feelings and dilemmas. Sometimes the issues may have been a pressure in life for months or years, and become part of your personality. It is a relief to discover that there is a solution to be found in therapy. I am especially interested in helping clients who have experienced troubled, sometimes abusive, childhoods and early loss of significant attachment figures. Often later life experience brings back earlier trauma and distress.

I am a trauma-informed, integrative therapist with NHS experience. Being trauma-informed means that I use a specific approach to therapy that recognizes and emphasizes understanding how the traumatic experience impacts a person’s mental well-being. This type of therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and the person’s emotional and behavioural responses. Being integrative means that I can work at your pace with a wide variety of skills tailored to suit you. I am aware that therapy is not a “one size fits all” and I pride myself in working with you to reconnect you with your values in life

I work with each client addressing their specific problems and tailoring the work to meet their needs and personality.   I am a qualified, accredited counsellor and therapist with nearly 20 years experience in private practice, workplace settings and adult mental health services.  . Everyone will experience difficulties at some point in their lives but sometimes we need help to overcome problems and find better life solutions.   I work in a confidential and safe environment where clients are able to develop more contentented and fulfilled lives.

Hi there and thanks for clicking on my profile. Do you find yourself struggling with certain areas of your life, difficult relationships, problematic behaviors, past traumatic experiences? Are these issues holding you back and leaving you feeling confused, anxious and less fulfilled? I work as an Integrative Counsellor to enable clients to take back control of their lives and live a life more rewarding. I work together with you, providing the time and space needed to work on these areas in a non-judgmental, accepting environment. Sometimes we all need another, to walk beside them on their personal journey.

I work with individuals and couples on a range of issues from trauma to life changes, using an integrated approach. I trained in humanistic and person-centered styles and I believe in working together. I pay attention to body processes and work creatively with the very different realms of feeling, thinking and doing/behaviour. I also work for a charity providing free counselling for people with Learning Disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Conditions (RespectForAll.org.uk) My practise is inclusive of different types, ages, sexualities, identities, abilities etc. All are welcome. I have some low cost slots, subject to availability .

Sometimes, we find ourselves alone in the dark forest and can’t find our way out. We could use a few breadcrumbs to show us the way or perhaps a companion to bring some light to the darkness. Whatever burdens you or makes you feel lost or stuck may be part of an untold story of you that contains your deepest and most painful wounds. They may drive important decisions and life choices, try to sabotage our dreams or relationships or tell us that our needs and feelings are not ok. Together, we can find a way of listening so that all the parts of you, even the most difficult, can be heard with compassion and genuine care.
