Liz Chambers
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
I believe deeply in trust, safety and feeling heard and offer a safe, supportive, and confidential space that gives clients a place to talk through what is troubling them. I believe everyone’s story is unique to them and whilst I have experience over a wide range of issues it is the quality of the connection between counsellor and client that I feel enables the client to find strength to move forward. Being an integrative counsellor means that I will look to work in a way that supports clients with what they need. I currently offer online counselling via Zoom or WhatsApp as well as telephone counselling.

Psychotherapist, PhD, MUKCP

With much understandable anxiety, overwhelm, depression, loss and sadness at this time, I offer a caring, safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore whatever brings you to therapy at this time. Alongside you, I may work towards enabling a surer sense of yourself; safely working with relationship issues (in the past or present); to understand life-changes (e.g. divorce/separation/retirement/identity issues/ bereavement and loss); and in working traumatic moments or life-events. I offer short and longer term work. Each session can potentially discover something new as a spur to growth and healing.
Matthew Eaves
Counsellor, MBACP

Hello, I'm Matthew. Sometimes it can be too painful or difficult to face things and our attempts to escape them can cause just as much discomfort. I’ve been there, and the counselling I received was so transformative I decided to train as a therapist and dedicate myself to helping other people who are struggling — I know that things can get so much better, no matter how bad they seem.
Rebecca Hardy

A qualified and registered counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer counselling support to adults (18+) within York city centre. There are situations in life that may have led you to feel unable to cope, judged, isolated, or not believed. Sometimes the reason for this is clear, and we know where to seek help, but at other times it is not. Drawing upon a range of approaches and techniques tailored to your needs, I will assist in helping you to explore your thoughts and feelings to find clarity, build upon your inner resources and live life more fully.

I help people to find peace of mind by managing their anxiety or low mood. I support people through their bereavement to enable them to enjoy life again.

You may feel stuck; finding yourself making the same unhelpful life choices or struggle with relationships, repeating negative patterns. You may need the space to find some self healing and acceptance. It is not my place to tell you what you need to do, rather we will work together to help you find clarity, move forward and regain control. We may work short or long term.
Lucy Preston
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
Life can be difficult, full of uncertainties and challenges, which can naturally leave us at times feeling distressed, overwhelmed, confused or alone. When we are feeling high levels of stress or anxiety it can be difficult to make sense of what is happening to us or how to move forward, sometimes it can be completely debilitating and frightening. At times we simply need space to explore a situation, a relationship or our sense of self. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy at this time, I would like to offer you a safe, compassionate space to explore what you need to and help you find a way forward that feels right for you.
Tricia Lynch
Counsellor, DCounsPsych, BACP
Verified
My areas of interest are working to assist others to find meaning and direction in times of personal difficulty. As a client you may yearn to have deeper understanding of your inner world and make sense of how it manifests in your life, or maybe you just need to be in a space where you feel cared for and heard – I offer a warm empathic approach, to support feeling safe so to enable you, to journey at your pace to tell your story and express yourself. Counselling can allow you to find awareness of your natural hidden ability to cope, which will support you in managing your life more effectively in relationships and other areas.
