Trauma Focused Counselling in York

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I love helping individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, become more self-accepting, heal and achieve personal growth. We all face challenges that test our emotional resilience. There are times when these challenges become too overwhelming and you may be finding it difficult to bounce back from your problems. Recognizing that you aren’t coping well with your challenges and emotional discomfort is a significant step to healing and asking for help can be highly rewarding. Instead of facing your problems alone, counselling can help you work through your issues more effectively.

Are you struggling with what life is throwing at you? With relationships, past experiences, anxiety or depression? We all have time times in life when we need to access help and share what is hard, with someone by our side to listen and help us make sense of things. Counselling helps us to look at what we’re experiencing and brings an awareness to how we respond to life’s challenges. This can give you an insight into the choices you have, to help you to grow and feel more confident to make those choices, improving your life and how you feel.
