Counselling in Leeds

Welcome! My name is Chloe Johnstone and I provide counselling and psychotherapy with the aim of supporting emotional difficulties and aiding in personal development. I think we have all had times where we have realised that we need some help. I offer a safe place where it is okay to take a moment and have some time for yourself and we can also look at specific issues and events which have been causing problems or distress. Counselling can act as a way to open doors and take a look around to see if there is another way of living your life.

Hi there and thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Masters Qualified BACP Registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in Leeds city centre (LS1) and York (YO41). As a therapist I help individuals talk about their feelings, think about their choices and help them to achieve positive changes in their lives through the counselling process. I use an integrative model of counselling & psychotherapy which involves a wide range of counselling theories such as psychodynamic and person-centred therapy.

I am interested in why you are seeking counselling; you may wish to describe any previous experiences of counselling you have had. You may wish to express what you feel your current support systems include- such as family and friends- and think about what you would like to achieve through therapy. If we decide to work together, we can agree a mutually convenient way to engage. I view entering into a therapeutic relationship as an act of bravery and a leap of faith. Building trust in our relationship is a journey I never underestimate and a privilege that I never take for granted.

When it’s not always possible to chat to a friend or loved one about personal issues counselling can be really helpful. Using a warm and down to earth style my sessions will use techniques to help discover the underlying symptoms, using a non direct approach. This will allow us to explore any issues you have, develop ways to overcome them, and move forward positively at a pace that feels right for you. As a fully qualified counsellor I offer help if you suffer emotional from problems with low self esteem, relationships, work related stress, abuse, child related issues, abandonment, drug abuse and addiction, amongst many others.

I trained as a person-centred counsellor, which simply means our sessions are all about you. I’d like to welcome you to a confidential and non-judgemental safe space where you can talk freely to explore your inner-self. Together, we can discover any underlying issues behind the difficulties you are experiencing and by overcoming the ghosts of your past, you will be in a better place to move forward with your life.Having counselling enables you to rediscover yourself in a safe place, where you can go at your own pace and allow yourself to release your true emotions that you may have locked away.

If you are on this page, it probably means you are a feeling a little stuck and could do with someone to trust, not judge you and listen to you. I can do that. What makes me different, I’ve been there. I’m not going to write paragraphs about me because this is about you. If you’d like to know more about me, please visit my site ww.allanclayton.co.uk “When I stand at the foot of a mountain, I can very rarely see the summit. I put one foot in front of the other and take a step at a time. Before I know it, I’ve conquered that mountain.”

I am a genuine, caring and insightful professional who creates a safe therapeutic space in which to foster self-awareness, mindfulness, personal growth and transformation. The decision to seek therapy is often not a simple one but once taken it marks a commitment to care for yourself that may then be fostered in our work together until you are able to meet your dilemmas or troubles with more understanding, gentleness, and greater ease.

Making the decision to start counselling and talk about the things that are troubling can be scary, however having a space to talk openly without judgement can be the beginning of your journey. I offer the opportunity and support for individuals from all walks of life to explore their struggles with the aim to develop an understanding of themselves and build confidence in their abilities and in who they are. Over 10 years I have supported men, women and children of different ages, cultural and social backgrounds through their own journey.

My name is Michelle and I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist available to help you to understand and work through life's difficulties. CBT has a sound evidence base in treating problems such as low confidence, panic, stress, obsessional problems, phobias, PTSD, health anxieties and excessive worry.

There are times in our life, when we all may need that extra support to deal with the emotional difficulties we encounter, to help us gain clarity and understanding. I offer a safe and non-judgemental place, to share what is going on for you. By working together, at your pace, I will invite you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences to help you gain some understanding and awareness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious or low? Life doesn't need to be this way. Do you need someone who will be able to understand your struggles and listen to what you need? I'm a fully qualified Counsellor and member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics. I had a varied career before becoming a Counsellor, working in financial services in The City, other office jobs, factory and warehouse work and have experienced redundancy. I believe this broad range of experience helps me relate to people from every walk of life and understand the pressures we often find ourselves under.

As a client seeking a therapist is a daunting and stressful experience. However, I can relate to this in more ways than one. The most important factor that a client needs to have is the desire to change, even if in some cases they are not certain about what actually needs to change. I believe that once this understanding has been achieved we can work together on stress, anxiety, depression, low mood, self-confidence or lack of self compassion.

Sometimes we can feel a bit broken and not know why. You might feel exhausted worrying about relationships and obsessing over how other people feel about you. Maybe you wish you could feel less needy in romantic relationships, more confident and treat yourself with more respect. It might be that you keep repeating unhelpful patterns, working too much or pushing yourself too hard but you don’t seem able to stop. Replaying past events on a loop as you try to sleep, you imagine if you could just be better somehow things would be different.

Maybe a recent life event is changing how you are in the world. Maybe a past event needs to be worked on and understood. Maybe you do not feel yourself and are suffering with a change in mood and outlook. If you are experiencing difficult and overwhelming feelings, we can work through them together. You will have a space to find some understanding and relief from what is happening to you, without being judged. Family and friends often try and give advice and make us feel better, but sometimes this is not what is needed and does not help. Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a different approach.

I am a person-centred counsellor who primarily works with members of the LGBTQ+ community. While mental health issues can be a huge barrier for anyone, for LGBTQ+ people these issues can be magnified. Often LGBTQ+ folks struggle to feel understood, to feel heard, and can suffer social isolation as a result. Coming out, again and again, to ourselves, our friends, our partners all while finding one’s true sense of self, can be a lifelong mission. My outlook on counselling is based on compassion and honesty, and I work to foster an environment where collaboration and discourse are encouraged, working with you to get the best outcomes.
