Family Counselling in Scarborough

I am a qualified Counsellor, Coach and Insights Discovery Practitioner based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. I am a member of the National Counselling Society and The Institute of Leadership and Management. I am fully insured and undertake regular clinical supervision. As a counsellor I have worked at length with individuals with anxiety issues, low mood and depression. I have worked extensively with children and young people in challenging environments, finding ways to overcome difficulties with family life, removing barriers to education and goal setting.

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.

Hi my name is Fiona and I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). If you are feeling anxious, depressed, stressed or overwhelmed then counselling is a safe place where you can share your thoughts and feelings confidentially and without fear of judgement. You may have been struggling for a while and have wanted or tried to talk to friends or family about how you feel, but sometimes that isn't easy or possible. Sometimes we can struggle on alone. This is when reaching out for counselling can be really helpful.

Counselling is about relationships with family , friends, colleagues and yourself. I create an environment where you are able to access and harness your own resources/strengths in a non-judgemental space to work towards your individual therapeutic goals. I will work alongside you and am keen to understand your personal values whilst working with difficulties such as stuck patterns and developing an understanding of what is maintaining them. I aim is to get to know you and your personal values so we can understand any issues and make sense of what is maintaining them.

Do you wake up thinking that there is something wrong with your life? Do you feel lost? Do you feel that relationships you have with your family , work colleagues or friends are not as you want them to be? Or maybe even a relationship with yourself. Do you feel like you’re on autopilot and you don’t know who you are anymore? Are you feeling that you’re behaving the way as you don’t want to behave, but you do it as you don’t know any other way? I’m here to help you to look at your life and understand what’s going on. You may be contacting me about yourself, your relationship or on behalf of someone younger in your family .

I'm Gemma. I'm a clinical psychologist with a passion for working with families and wider systems around people. I have a passion for working with couples, and parents who are struggling with the behaviour of their children, particularly aggression or other risky behaviours. I also work with couples who are experiencing significant levels of conflict and harmful or abusive behaviour. Sometimes, my work is with parents who have separated and are trying to work out how to reduce the impact of this separation on their children, or repair or reconstruct relationships that have become strained or distant.

Sometimes the issues we face paralyse us with anxieties. Sometimes we have no one in our lives who are able to help or we may not want to burden others. It’s difficult to trust people with our innermost worries, feelings and thoughts. Yet we all need help to get through difficult periods in our lives. It may be that friends and family tell us to stop dwelling on the past or try and move on. But no matter how hard we try, the past hangs around to haunt us or we have no words to describe what we feel. Additionally, we may wish to explore our experience for personal or professional reasons.

Hi my work with children and young people has enabled me to adopt a common sense approach. I practise Integrative Counselling, that means I used CBT, Person Centred, Pyschodynamic, etc, concepts. Which are the building blocks of thoughts and beliefs which affect how we feel. I understand the first step in seeking counselling is hard, if you have sought support, you may not know how to effect change it’s at this point we explore choices.

Talking can be therapeutic but it's also important to be heard. I can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment in which to explore whatever is on your mind and however you are feeling. I am primarily a person centred counsellor but can integrate other counselling approaches into my work according to your needs. For example, the belief that you are the expert regarding your own issues is at the centre of the person centred approach whereas cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is more structured and can be helpful in identifying and addressing unhelpful or difficult thoughts and behaviours that impact on feelings.
