Or multiple traumas. For example, veterans, abuse survivors. EMDR is hugley succesful at treating a range of mental health issues (anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, self harm, self esteem, self sabotage behaviours and many more).

I'm Michelle, and I'm passionate about helping those who want to help themselves. I'm a Registered Member of the BACP, and my homely therapy room is based in Huddersfield town centre.

I work in Honley and Leeds. So you want to let go of the past and move on, get some clarity, gain independence and freedom, find contentment and meaning. You’re struggling with questions like; Who am I? What’s the point? Why am I so unhappy? How do I change? I can help you find out who you are, where you’re going, find purpose, learn to live again, assert yourself in difficult relationships. Face and deal with that difficult stuff you’ve been avoiding that won’t let go of you. I've helped many people get over depression and anxiety, bereavement and problems at work.

I am an experienced counsellor with 15 years in private practice. The hardest thing is to take that first step and figure out what’s happening in your life, to trust someone with what you’re going to tell them, your most private thoughts or feelings or what’s happened to you. Yet, you deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning, free of emotional pain and distress. Your story is not trivial, and I’m ready to listen and help you find the answers you need and support you with the appropriate coping mechanisms.

Sometimes life can throw up unexpected challenges and we find that things that wouldn't normally bother us do. You may find yourself stuck, and unable to move forward; to make the change you so badly desire. It may be that you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or stressed leaving you constantly worrying and struggling to sleep. Perhaps, you are having problems at work or in your relationships, or maybe you have suffered at the hands of others which impacts on your emotions and behaviours now. If any of this resonates with you, counselling can help develop the self-awareness you need and give you the tools to move you forward.

Pull up a seat, get comfortable, and lets really talk about what matters to you. Perhaps you’re passionate about changing the world or just your small corner of it. You want to use your voice and take up space, but don’t know where to start. Sometimes the weight of what you’re trying to handle feels too great. I get it - life is often messy, unpredictable, and confusing. Bread and Roses has been designed as a compassionate and inspiring space for creative thinkers, cultural rebels, sensitive souls and the queer community. Whatever you are facing, you don't have to face it alone and all of you is welcome here.

Hi, I'm Melissa, I'm an experienced Counsellor offering Person Centred Counselling to Individuals and Couples on weekdays by appointment. Person Centred Counselling is an approach which empowers the client and allows them to determine the direction Counselling may go in so that they can address, process and resolve the issues they have brought to Counselling. I am also an approved Adoption Support Counsellor. This work legally requires specialist training which I completed n 2023 with the Barnardo's LINK Certificate in Adoption Support Counselling. This covers Counselling for Adoptees, Adoptive parents, Birth parents and Family.

I am a chartered, HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist and EMDR Therapist, qualified and trained to assess and treat a broad range of psychological problems across the lifespan. I have extensive clinical experience treating anxiety disorders and depression, and have a specialist interest in trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD (multiple/chronic adverse events). My background also includes working with both adults and young people diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) and Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEAD).

Art therapy enabled me to process my own past traumas, it has given me the empathy and determination to help others to see more clearly what is going on for them in the present, often through gaining a better understanding of their past. I work mostly with adolescents (aged 12-25), and primary/junior school children. Helping them to process issues such as anxiety, bullying, stress, identity, behavioural issues, grief and bereavement.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or it feels the right time to speak to someone again, you are welcome here. Counselling with me can be a place to offload, work through or process some of those feelings or hard thoughts. A chance to untangle what is going on for you, while still enabling you to function day to day. I am an integrative, relational counsellor which means I am qualified in a range of counselling and psychotherapy approaches and tailor sessions to meet your individual needs.

When overwhelmed by life’s difficulties, struggling with loss or suffering from anxiety, stress, and depression, people often have no one to turn to. Even with friends or family who love them, they don’t feel able to talk openly, due to guilt or embarrassment, or particularly in the case of bereavement, through not wanting to burden others. Often desperate to be ‘heard’ and supported, my clients come to me for counselling and find release as I allow them to offload from a place of pain, helping them find ways to cope with life again. It’s a ‘safe place’ – they can be ‘real’ without any fear of judgement.

Play Therapy can help support social, emotional and behaviour difficulties and also children who are struggling with confused and upsetting experiences. Difficulties that can be supported through Play Therapy include anger, phobias, friendships, concentration, loss and bereavement, anxiety, parental separation, trauma, sibling rivalry, hyperactivity, behavioural issues, emotional literacy and many others. Through the support of the therapist, play can help a child achieve their full potential. You can contact me to arrange a free consultation in which your child's difficulties can be discussed and therapeutic goals agreed.

I offer a tranquil accepting space where you will be seen, heard, where there is no judgement, providing you the support to explore your struggles with me. I work in a way that provides a collaboration with you, an equal relationship as we work together to help you process your deeper emotions, understand yourself more fully, a steady support as you grow, develop and move forward, improving how you feel about yourself, your relationships with others and the life you experience.
