"As a therapist, I have been described as calm, patient and intuitive. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings for a total of 11 years including the NHS and The Place 2 Be. Today I work in a private practice setting in Leeds. I draw techniques from the psychodynamic modality - exploring your past experiences and consciousness in a curious and objective way. Psychodynamic therapy, based on a trusting relationship, involves a deeper exploration of your unique process - including repeated patterns and unconscious thoughts."

"Worried about waiting lists or limited number of sessions? Hoping for a non-judgemental space to explore how you are feeling, or not feeling? You may be unsure whether you can afford private counselling, or maybe you have been frustrated by long waiting lists or limits to the number of sessions on offer. Whether you would like to come for one or two counselling sessions, or you feel that long-term therapy would be appropriate for you, we would be happy to offer you an assessment."

"Hello. It could be that you have reached a point where you've realised that aspects of your life just don't work but you don't know why. Perhaps your relationships in work and in your personal life are unsatisfying, frustrating or difficult and this is making you feel low, frutated or anxious. Facing up to things in your life which don't work so well can be really difficult, but allowing yourself to know that there is something wrong is the first step towards changing it. Counselling can really help with this and offers the prospect of new horizons and a much more deeply satisfying fit with who you really are. "

"Perhaps events in the past are causing distress or you want to live more freely and fully. Traumatic experiences have a different neurological route, can become inaccessible to memory and cause a range of problems such as physical pain, anxiety, depression or addictions. I have been providing therapy that helps refugees and asylum seekers to come to terms with multiple traumas and rebuild their lives by emotional management and building new narratives about their experience. As a therapist for the Probation Service, I have helped people get their lives back on track through therapy that traces the origins of their behaviours. "

"I work with people with who have different life experiences, of different ages and from different places, with very similar issues. Anxiety and depression are common to us all, and are completely normal responses to life events. What's important is that we seek help dealing with these when they affect our lives negatively - remember that your mental health is just as important as your physical health!"

"I am registered with the BACP, & can help you reduce anxiety, stress & worry, improve your self-esteem, & find ways to cope with problems such as depression, grief & loss. My training was in the relational model of counselling, which brings together ideas from a number of counselling theories to enable effective therapy. I will support & encourage you to explore & manage difficult thoughts & emotions; make sense of areas of life where you may feel stuck; & to make any choices or possible changes you may want. "

"As a counsellor I strive to provide a non-judgmental, understanding and honest relationship in a safe environment. I have being in private practice for five years and counselled young people, adults of all ages and couples. I tailor the sessions to suit the client as counselling is very subjective and each individual responds to different types of counselling. As a counsellor I have counselled in a primary school and also at a community college counselling students with a diverse range of issues. In addition to my private practice I was a volunteer for six years with Cruse Bereavement Care."

"Deciding to come to therapy can be a big decision, and my goal is to help you feel and comfortable and safe. I am an integrative therapist, meaning I use different modalities depending on what it is you feel you need from counselling. These can include short- and long-term work, person-centered talking therapy, CBT techniques, and creative interventions to name a few. At the heart of it all, I work relationally and I value the therapeutic relationship; I will treat you with respect, not judge your decisions, and I will listen to you. I will provide a safe space for you to explore and find solutions to improve your wellbeing."

"My approach to psychotherapy integrates findings in attachment theory, neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy and mindfulness. The structure of sessions or "where we will put our attention today" is negotiated with you at the beginning of each session and we will try to cultivate a mindful state of mind throughout the session in order to explore issues in more depth. Care will be taken to pace sessions carefully so that there is plenty of time for you to begin "processing" what arises in the session and to ensure that you do not become overwhelmed by what is explored."

"I am a Relate trained and qualified Relational Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience of working with individuals, couples and families.

"Hello, and a warm welcome to my profile. I am a very experienced and highly qualified therapist offering Psychotherapy, Psychosexual Therapy and Couple Therapy. Communication between loved ones can stall, seize up, or become strained through awkwardness or a reluctance to challenge or hurt their loved ones. You may be in crisis, or perhaps a culmination of patterns is causing you anxiety or stress. The repetitive cycle of arguments can make you feel despairing of change or movement forward. The sensitive subject of sex can be particularly tricky to navigate and as a result we avoid it at all costs. "
