Counselling in LS1

Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious or low? Life doesn't need to be this way. Do you need someone who will be able to understand your struggles and listen to what you need? I'm a fully qualified Counsellor and member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics. I had a varied career before becoming a Counsellor, working in financial services in The City, other office jobs, factory and warehouse work and have experienced redundancy. I believe this broad range of experience helps me relate to people from every walk of life and understand the pressures we often find ourselves under.

In my experience the most effective ways to deal with emotional and psychological difficulties problems are to address the underlying causes. This often involves understanding how you got to where you are now, including the impact others have had on you. Finding ways of improving your relationships is also often central to being able to make changes and feeling more able to deal with the challenges you face.

My name is Amanda and I am an experienced counsellor and counselling supervisor based in both Leeds and Halifax. I work with individuals and couples providing a safe and non-judgemental environment for counselling and psychotherapy that will enable you to explore in confidence the issues you are finding problematic. Our time together will support you on your journey to overcome the issues which are causing you distress. Counselling appointments are available at my practices in Leeds city centre and at The Piece Hall in Halifax -both counselling practices are just a short walk away from bus and train stations.

Hi. My name’s Josh. I am a Leeds based Integrative psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor. This means I am not restricted to working in one particular way. So I will adapt the way I work with you to suit you. I work short and long term with adults (18+) in an holistic way, from a humanistic and relational perspective. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental, space to pause and reflect on your reasons for choosing to enter therapy, whilst working collaboratively with you towards your hopes for your future self.

Feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to choose a therapist? Maybe you are experiencing grief that is all consuming? At times it can be scary to feel so intensely so you need someone that can help you make sense and navigate your feelings and emotions? Or perhaps you are going through changes and transformation which leaves you feeling alone and lost in this new way of being? Looking for someone who can be a witness to who you are becoming? Are you the someone that struggles in relationships and always attracts the same kind of person? Do you need therapist that will show you how to build fulfilling relationship and end those patterns?

I am an experienced Relate trained Psychosexual Therapist and Relationship Psychotherapist and the Clinical Lead for Psychosexual Therapy throughout the Relate Penine and Calderdale regions but now based in Leeds City Centre. I have over 20 years of experience and more than 10,000 hours working alongside couples and individuals with sexual, emotional or relationship problems. I offer a judgement free practice using a cognitive therapeutic style tailored to meet your needs and help you reach your relationship goals.

I have worked in mental health as a mental health nurse for many years, and I have over 30 years' experience working for the NHS and I am fully accredited by BABCP to provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I take an integrative-based approach towards CBT. This means I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify their negative behaviours and patterns. Together, we shall develop methods to aid change. There is no single approach that works for everyone, but I do emphasise the importance of creating a safe place to share your fears and concerns. I also place great importance on the individual at the centre of the therapy.

Sometimes we can feel a bit broken and not know why. You might feel exhausted worrying about relationships and obsessing over how other people feel about you. Maybe you wish you could feel less needy in romantic relationships, more confident and treat yourself with more respect. It might be that you keep repeating unhelpful patterns, working too much or pushing yourself too hard but you don’t seem able to stop. Replaying past events on a loop as you try to sleep, you imagine if you could just be better somehow things would be different.

Hi there and thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Masters Qualified BACP Registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in Leeds city centre (LS1) and York (YO41). As a therapist I help individuals talk about their feelings, think about their choices and help them to achieve positive changes in their lives through the counselling process. I use an integrative model of counselling & psychotherapy which involves a wide range of counselling theories such as psychodynamic and person-centred therapy.

I have vast experience of counselling both adults and children having worked in private practice and in schools. My experience has given me a great understanding of how our childhood can impact our adult life. I use my experience and counselling knowledge to develop bespoke therapy sessions for each individual client. My focus is on helping you to move forward and address whatever it is that you feel is holding you back in life. For me the most important thing is that the sessions are for you, and I’m here to work alongside you.

People who embark on a psychoanalytically informed therapy attend for a variety of reasons. Depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame or low self esteem, what is important is that the problems have been around for some time and despite our best efforts do not improve by trying to address them on our own. This leaves us feeling stuck and alone, with increasing symptoms and frustrations. The aim of this type of therapy is to not only to help with the conscious symptoms, but to help develop understanding and awareness of what lies beneath the symptoms, enriching our lives and relationships, enabling change.

I am an experienced, fully qualified psychotherapist specialising in Psychosexual, Relationship Therapy and EMDR therapy. I am qualified at MSC level and have over 14 years' experience of helping a diverse range of couples and individuals overcome relationship issues, sexual problems or trauma. I operate confidential and judgment free practice using an integrative therapeutic style, tailored to meet the individual needs of each client and work proactively using up to date strategies in psychology and behavioural sciences to help clients meet their therapeutic goals.

Want to feel like your normal self again? Sometimes a listening ear and understanding is what you need. I am here to offer you my time, respect and acceptance. I use an integrative approach - tailoring the therapy to my client's needs, and not the client to one specific approach. I am fully qualified and experienced in both short-term and long-term face-to-face therapy. I create a good therapeutic relationship with each client, normalising individuality in a comfortable space. I work in a completely confidential, non-judgemental, fair and equal manner.
