Psychotherapist, MBABCP
Leeds LS25
As a BABCP-accredited CBT and EMDR therapist with 15+ years experience supporting mental health (and more than a decade in the NHS), I provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can work through things together at your own pace. Maybe you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or a low mood that won't lift. Perhaps the demands of daily life are piling up or experiences from the past just can't be put to rest. It might even be hard to put into words - you just know that something needs to change, and you're ready for things to feel easier. Whatever you're going through, you don't have to figure it out alone.

You might look as though you are coping well on the outside, yet privately feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. Perhaps you overthink conversations long after they have ended, question whether you are too much or not enough, or find yourself working hard to keep others happy while neglecting your own needs. You may appear capable and successful, yet struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or misunderstood. Together, we can begin to understand how these relationship patterns originally formed and how you can start to respond differently.

You may be feeling anxious, low in mood or overwhelmed by stress. Perhaps relationships feel strained, family dynamics are difficult, or past experiences continue to affect your confidence and sense of self. You might not have clear answers yet, only a sense that something needs to change. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect and begin to understand what is happening for you.

David Clancy
Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP
Leeds LS1
People come to psychoanalytically informed therapy for many reasons—depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame, or low self-esteem. What these struggles often have in common is that they have been present for some time and, despite our best efforts, do not improve when we try to manage them alone. This can leave us feeling stuck and isolated, with symptoms and frustrations that gradually intensify. The aim of this therapy is not only to alleviate conscious symptoms, but also to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the underlying emotional life that shapes our relationships and our feelings.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns they want to change. Some come following a significant life event, while others have been carrying difficult experiences for many years. I offer a warm, calm and compassionate space where you can feel heard without judgement. While I welcome adults from all backgrounds, I have a particular interest in supporting new parents, individuals experiencing anxiety, and South Asian clients navigating identity, family dynamics and cultural expectations.

Psychotherapist, MBACP

As an integrative counsellor, I will help you work through whatever issues you bring to our shared space, using the most appropriate therapeutic approach. I recognise that what works for one person might not work for another, and no two people feel the same about what might appear to be a similar ‘thing’ on the outside. After all, you are the expert on you. You have taken the first step, by recognising that you need some help. My practice is called Elpis Therapy - indicating something we all need at times of emotional distress: ‘hope’.

This is a space for sensitive, intuitive and/or neurodivergent adults carrying the invisible wounds of emotionally lonely, unpredictable, or traumatic childhoods. You may appear capable and compassionate on the outside while privately feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or caught in painful relationship patterns. Together, we'll gently explore what happened, reconnect with your inner resources, and help you come home to yourself.

I’m Jon. I’m an integrative counsellor, and I’m currently able to offer sessions in-person, via video call or over the phone. I trained in a number of different psychotherapeutic approaches. My aim is to adapt how I work, and which approaches I’m drawing upon, depending on the needs of the client I am working with. I want to help clients bring about the change they seek - that might be a change in behaviour, or a change in outcomes, or it could be a change through developing a greater understanding.
