Counselling in Scarborough

We had no choice in the family we were raised in, so as adults, we continue acting from the same script we did as children. There are many reasons why you may be considering counselling and I offer a safe space in which you can explore who you are and what may be holding you in a place you feel stuck.

I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychosexual Therapist based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. I am a member of the National Counselling Society and The College of Sex and Relationship Therapist. 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.

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.

I am a therapist/ psychotherapeutic counsellor at the end of advanced training, based in Scarborough. I have extensive experience of working with a range of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, neurodivergence, grief/ bereavement, addiction and self-harm. I currently work with adult clients (18+) on a one-to-one basis, either in person from an office in Southcliff or via Skype.

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.

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.

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.

Hello, I’m Dorrie. Finding a therapist that is right for you can be completely overwhelming; there is so much choice and sometimes, the therapist jargon can be a real head scratcher. As you read through my profile, have a think about if I seem like someone you could connect with, as that is such an important aspect of finding the right therapist. You may be seeking therapy because you are feeling depressed, anxious or may want to explore who you are and what that means to you. Together we will forge a relationship which will serve as a safe haven to express and explore yourself openly, without judgment.

Counselling is an opportunity to be heard, to share with a trained person some of the difficulties that you encounter and to be supported to make positive changes to your life. I work in a respectful, empathic, understanding and compassionate way, providing a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. By reflecting on these experiences you can learn new ways of doing things and progress past what you feel is holding you back or causing you difficulty. I currently work from a comfortable and private space that is used solely for client sessions, online via video call or outdoors.
