Clinical Supervision and Qualified Supervisors - Counselling in Harrogate

I am an approachable, qualified counsellor & psychotherapist. I have helped people manage depression, anxiety, stress, anger and relationship issues. I have also helped people explore issues of gender and sexuality, offering a supportive and confidential space. I have a warm, relaxed approach and will try to help you feel as comfortable as possible. My aim is to understand you and your unique situation, and to help you with the issues that you may be struggling with, in order to help you resolve them. Counselling facilitates self awareness, enabling your own capacity for healing, growth and change.

People come to counselling for many different reasons - you may be struggling with a recent crisis or difficulty, or decided now is the time to address a long-standing problem. Talking to people you know may be just too difficult or not really helping. I work in a person-centred and relational way, offering you warmth, respect and acceptance; and will not judge you, whatever you struggle with. I have worked with many different issues and believe that in a caring, supportive and confidential environment, you will be able to explore your difficulties, and find your way to a more fulfilling life.

Feeling safe to open up and explore the issues that bring you to counselling is important to me. I have over 12 years experience working as a counsellor with Adult clients working short term, long term and open ended. Together we will work on the issues that bring you to counselling, creating a safe space for you to develop your understanding and validate your thoughts and feelings. Creating and reaching your goals in a number of sessions you are comfortable with, or working towards these in an open way ensures you work within your boundaries. We can talk through any challenges you may face and have an initial free consultation.
