Counselling in Scarborough

Sometimes, it might be difficult to find your way through challenging times alone, or understand how something significant in your life has affected you. Within therapy, we can work together to discover a way through. Sharing thoughts, feelings and memories can be intense and painful, especially if it is your first time opening up to someone else; exploring such things can make you feel worse before you feel better. Therapy helps this process become a movement towards personal growth, understanding, acceptance and change, free of any judgment.

Hello, I'm Andrew a warm, compassionate Relational Integrative Psychotherapist based in North Yorkshire. Are you feeling listless, or perhaps live with anxiety or worry? Do you struggle to focus or have a feeling of being ‘elsewhere’? Do you suspect you might be addicted to work, food, social media, alcohol, legal or illegal drugs? I have lived experience of overcoming large life challenges and I can relate to what you bring to our sessions. I'll be right by your side as we move forward towards your greater sense of all you can be.

Hi, welcome. I offer a space for clients to talk and work through what matters to them. It could be that you are seeking a dedicated space to talk to someone who will not judge or tell you what to do, will actively listen, and walk alongside you to find your own way through.The approach I work in trusts in your ability to know what is best for you, you are the expert of yourself. By exploration within the therapeutic relationship of your own concerns, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and view of your world, your full potential can be realised, and you can achieve greater independence so that you can cope with the fluctuations of life.

We face many challenges and this is perfectly normal, it happens to us all at some point. We seek counselling for a variety of reasons whether that being a relationship breakdown, mourning of a family member, depression, anxiety or just because we need someone to talk to. Counselling enables us to explore our thought feelings and emotions.

Therapy can help start this process of developing insight and self-awareness about your situation.

People visit a cousellor in order to feel better about themselves and their lives. I believe it is essential to be able to relate to my client before I can contribute in any way to their well-being.

I can help you in areas such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem as well as being a valuable resource for self- awareness and development. In a safe and warm environment I work with you to facilitate the changes you seek.

Having been in counselling myself, I have an understanding of the process. It can be a daunting prospect, and I will support you in that journey.

Hi, my name is Roy Yelverton, welcome to Calm Space, where I aim to provide a safe, secure, and Calm environment for my clients. Quite often people come for counselling and say they don't know where to start, and there is no wrong or right, absolutely no expectations from me as a counsellor, my role as a person-centred therapist is to work with the person, not the issue. I will encourage clients to be open and honest from the start, and I will let the session go wherever it needs to go. It is client-lead, and my role is to provide a safe space to support my clients in whatever issues they need to explore.

I'm an integrative relational psychotherapist and I use my experience of talking and relating to you in sessions to understand your way of being in the world, how you make sense of it and how you relate to others. Your journey is unique. Every time I've been listened to and understood I've come away feeling cared for and valued with a new sense of worth. I've learned that change is inevitable and that how I care for myself in the present affects my future.

We are told how important exercise is for our physical wellbeing, our mental health is no different. Therapy does change lives and for that reason, if you are unhappy, stressed and not sure what to do, you need to remember that life is short and you deserve to live the life you want. Put yourself first, and do what makes you happy! My approach is integrative, which means that I am trained in several different modalities, allowing me to work in a way that suits each unique client.

Coming to therapy can be a difficult decision to make. When we are having difficulty in life our thinking can become muddled or unclear and we do things that we think might help in the short term, but can perhaps have a negative effect in the long term. This can cause us to get trapped in unhealthy cycles. You might be feeling unpleasant emotions or be trapped in a way of thinking that might be unhelpful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help to unravel the complex human thoughts and emotions that sometimes contribute to being less than at our best, and find new ways of thinking and being to move forward.

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be all along. Our lives present unique challenges – relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions, & chronic symptoms - often creating feelings of frustration, anxiety, & sadness. At such times it is easy to forget that we all need assistance in addressing these challenges, especially as they can often feel overwhelming, or even impossible, to deal with. We all deserve to have support when we are struggling, & often it is specifically this support that allows change to occur.

Difficulties in life catch us up at some stage, so why not make time just for you, working at your pace, exploring what is making life difficult just now. I support clients with difficult relationships, life events, Abuse of any form past/present, bereavements, illness, & all losses. The concerns of becoming a new mum, or older children leaving home & you with mixed feelings. I have extensive knowledge of Domestic/Emotional/Physical Abuse, Loss from illness, Change or Bereavement, Divorce or Post-natal depression, Bullying, work related stress. I am available to consider anything you might need, just reach out, I'm listening...

I am here to support you through any life issues you are having at the moment. Life can be hard at times, such as: bereavement, loss, relationship issues, poor view of self, depression, anxiety, illness and loneliness. I offer a safe space that is confidential and I will listen to your story with compassion and empathy. I have many years of counselling experience, as a holistic counsellor, coach, academic counselling tutor and clinical supervisor. Over the years I have supported people who have a disability, in particular people who are sight impaired; who have Multiple Sclerosis and Leukemia.
