Counselling in HG2

Hello. My name is Daniel. I am an qualified and experienced Counsellor working from Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I can help with many issues including; Family and relationship issues, Anxiety and Stress, Depression, Grief and Loss Purpose, direction and motivation Addictions, Moderate mental health concerns Difficult and undesirable behaviour's Issues around Christian faith and spirituality .

I am an experienced counsellor -offering Individual psychotherapy. I also work with EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing), a very effective and proven approach for the treatment of trauma. My approach to therapy is integrative. People are diverse and ways of facing and resolving problems vary from individual to individual I find that sticking to just one fixed approach would be forced and simplistic. I work drawing from different theories and approaches what feels best for each unique individual experience.

Most people feel overwhelmed and 'burned out' at some point in their life. Often we know what the problem is, it might be work related, personal or a combination of things. Maybe, it is less clear, a general awareness of feeling low and unhappy much of the time without really knowing why. It can be invaluable to have somewhere private and confidential to talk, to be able to think more clearly about what isn't working, the reasons why and how things could be different going forward.

I am an experienced Child, Young Person and Parent Psychotherapist based in Harrogate. There are times when we all struggle emotionally. For children and young people it can often be difficult to understand their own emotions or be able to express their thoughts. Sometimes this leads to overwhelming and confusing feelings, with behaviours that seems stuck, possibly resulting in low self-esteem and struggles with relationships. Counselling and creative therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, feelings, develop an understanding of our thoughts whilst building communication skills and emotional resilience.

As a Supervisor & Psychotherapist, over 35 years of my adult life have been dedicated to working with others in their quest for well-being. You may be dealing with a recent, disturbing event leading to anxiety, depression & stress & could do with someone to help you move on? Or perhaps you have a difficult choice to make & need help to see clearly? Or perhaps you just don't feel good & don't really know how this came about? A difficulty in a relationship or within the family? Whatever the cause, we can work together to unearth whatever is getting you down so that you can move on.

I have been working with people experiencing unhappiness in all sorts of ways for many years and never yet come across anyone who's distress or anxiety or sadness didn't make sense once we had talked about it for a while. Every individual is different and special in my book but has in common the need to be heard, recognised, valued and understood. As a person-centred counsellor those four things are at the heart of my practice. Whatever your concern or difficulty, sharing what is on your mind and in your heart in a safe space is the start of healing and self acceptance. I work online and by phone as well as face to face.

People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons; usually they are wanting to change something in their lives. If it is important to you and/or making you unhappy, then that is a good reason to come. I work as an integrative counsellor, which means I have developed my approach from a variety of theories. These include person- centred, psychodynamic and gestalt which I can explain more in our first session.

Feeling safe to open up and explore the issues that bring you to counselling is important to me. I have over 12 years experience working as a counsellor with Adult clients working short term, long term and open ended. Together we will work on the issues that bring you to counselling, creating a safe space for you to develop your understanding and validate your thoughts and feelings. Creating and reaching your goals in a number of sessions you are comfortable with, or working towards these in an open way ensures you work within your boundaries. We can talk through any challenges you may face and have an initial free consultation.

Hello, thankyou for stopping by. As far as I'm concerned, it only matters about how you feel & all we can do together to assist you in resolving, releasing, healing any challenge & getting the results you desire to live your most happy fulfilled life. Despite it may often feel like a swirl of harrowing emotions or events in the thick of it, there's always something we can do,& you have all the support you need here. This also includes just wanting to keep neuro fit from peak mindset & utilising an exciting quantum reality to achieve your desired outcomes and dreams,to peak mindbody health and well-being.This process is to enjoy.

Sometimes life feels more difficult than usual and it can be hard to know where to turn for support. You may be overwhelmed, full of anxiety, or sad and unable to find any joy. Perhaps you're feeling lost, wondering how to get the spark back in your life. Counselling is a place where you can explore what's going on and how you feel without fear of being being judged. You don't have to pretend to be OK, you don't have to be 'fine'. You can be yourself and together we will find a way for you to live more happily. This is your time, your space to breathe, to begin to understand, accept and heal.

I believe psychotherapy to be a unique and collaborative process based upon the relationship between therapist & client. It allows for one to openly explore and experience a range of thoughts and feelings in a safe and containing space, with someone trained to help understand and make sense of them. I work from a person centred approach where needs are addressed with non-judgement, understanding, empathy & confidentiality. Through this, one can address problematic behaviours, thoughts and emotions, gain further potential and productivity, as well as develop improved insight and meaning whereby increasing overall quality of life.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel good emotions or are you just numb or angry? At times we struggle to find joy and fulfilment in life. Was childhood difficult for you? Our childhood shapes the rest of our lives and learned reactions impact our relationships with others. Are you tired of the same thoughts and circumstances repeating? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? All of us have our own way of dealing with things but unhealthy habits can lead to us feeling trapped. In therapy we can develop awareness, break the self defeating cycle and make good conscious choices.

I'm the Integrative Psychotherapist & Empowerment Coach for those who are ready to feel confident in themselves, their relationships, their work/business & life. My mission is for you to release the thoughts, feelings, fears, insecurities & beliefs that are holding you back,so that you can reclaim the essence of who you really are & embrace your purpose, power & potential to achieve the success that's meant for you.

I am a Doctor in Counselling Psychology, with over 19 years experience of working as a therapist. The decision to start therapy is not always an easy one, and everybody has a different reason for wanting to attend therapy. It may be recent circumstances which have caused you upset, stress or discomfort, or life long issues which you now feel you would like to address. It may be that you are feeling uncertain, or stuck, and not entirely sure why. Exploration of these issues together with a therapist could help you develop an understanding and move forward in life.

Perhaps you are reading this profile because you are going through something difficult right now, and you are looking for someone to offer you support without agenda or judgement? Therapy is about creating a compassionate space in which you will be heard and given the time to explore what is going on for you. My role is to help you feel safe and empowered to reflect on your feelings, fears, hopes and frustrations, and to find a way forward that is right for you. So that you can decide if I am the right therapist for you, I am always happy to have a conversation via Zoom before you book an appointment.

Do you feel anxious, confused or angry ? Have you suffered a loss ? There may be many reasons why you feel you need to access some extra help other than talking to family and friends. Counselling will provide you with a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult issues to identify and focus on your concerns, moving towards understanding, acceptance and a changed outlook on life. Counselling can help increase self-esteem and confidence, help to come to terms with past experiences, change unhelpful behaviour and improve communication.

I am a friendly and professionally qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor. I help people manage depression, anxiety, stress, anger and relationship issues. I also help people explore issues of gender and sexuality, offering a supportive and confidential space. I have a warm, relaxed approach and will try to help you feel as comfortable as possible. My aim is to understand you and your unique situation, and to help you with the issues that you may be struggling with, in order to help you resolve them. Counselling facilitates self awareness, enabling your own capacity for healing, growth and change.
