Counselling in LS22

I am a professional counsellor, based in York and Wetherby, who works with adults on a one-to-one basis. If you are looking for counselling, I am here to help you with whatever difficulties you may be going through. I do this by offering a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings, working with you to make sense of what is happening and change things for the better. This may include specific problems like anxiety and depression, or could be something more general that is harder to put into words. Whatever the issue, we would work together and at your own pace, to improve things in your life.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed with life you are not alone. This feeling can happen to any of us at some point in our life. It may come from a recent loss, a traumatic experience, a life transition or you may feel it comes from you past relationships. Maybe you don't know where this feeling comes from. You simply feel stuck, you don't recognise who you are anymore and you want something to change.

I am a chartered psychologist with 17 years’ experience of helping people with emotional and interpersonal difficulties. In my private practice I predominantly use schema therapy to assist people in understanding the reasons why they may behave and think in unhelpful ways. My therapy style uses eclectic, creative and responsive methods to unblock and reprocess early negative experiences in a safe space. Treatment also involves a mentoring approach to coach clients to develop more robust skills for managing their emotions and relationships, to allow for better, more fulfilling lives. Please contact me for a free assessment.

We can all at times have intense feelings that we find difficult to control. Falling into the same old patterns, getting angry & stressed instead. Anger causes relationship problems leaving us feeling misunderstood, anxious & depressed. This can be a lonely & isolating place. Whether it be relationships with family, friends, neighbours - reality is we cannot avoid relationships. Trouble is they can be stressful to deal with, especially when trying to work out acceptable boundaries or forgive or trying to repair damaged relationships. I am the creator of The Angry Tent & The R.U.D Process - therapy tools to help manage anger.

I work across the age range from young children to adults, working with a wide range of psychological difficulties. I also manage a wider team and I'm the managing director of Northern Clinical Psychology Services (please see my website www.ncps-uk.com for more details).

Life can be difficult sometimes, you may feel stuck, you may be feeling depressed, sad, anxious, fearful, angry and confused or you might not even not know how you are feeling. This is where I can help. We will work together to help you understand your feelings and relationships, and empower you to make meaningful changes in your life. I have supported adults from a wide variety of backgrounds and issues, including: low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship & family issues, bereavement, loss, work or health-related problems and domestic violence.

Hi there! I work with women and girls struggling with difficult emotions and low self esteem. You may be seeking support through a specific life challenge or transition, to learn how to cope better, to explore painful or traumatic experiences or to change aspects of life that no longer serve you Maybe you just want to feel at ease with yourself and in your relationships? If so, then I'm glad that you're seeking the support you deserve and I'd love to chat with you.

We each have our own particular blend of resources and limitations, specific to us and unique as a fingerprint. That's why my therapeutic counselling doesn't provide 6-step plans, workbooks or programmes. It's open, free-flowing and exploratory. It takes the time to clear a regular safe space in which to unpack the events, relationships and emotions that you bring with you to this moment. To think about your feeling and feel your thinking. To talk, to laugh, to be tired, angry, uplifted or simply just to take the time to be. With compassion, empathy and without judgment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and finding it difficult to control your emotions? sometimes we need support to explore our thoughts and feelings to enable us to understand the root cause of our problems and then carefully look at strategies that can change our situation and improve our ability to cope more effectively. I am an Accredited EMDR practitioner and have over 18 years experience working with the British military and civilians presenting with PTSD.

My name is Anne, I specialise in Relationship Therapy. I'm a very experienced Relate-trained couple counsellor. I offer couple counselling and relationship counselling for individuals and adult family members. I provide a good space for moving forward with the way you’d like your relationships to be. I create a non-judgemental environment to talk creatively together. Through coming for counselling we would explore together what you are hoping for, share ideas and find a way forward. When coming for counselling with your partner or family members I enable the conversation so that everyone can feel really heard.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, stuck? Or losing hope and wants things to be different. Do you want a happier and more fulfilling relationship but are feeling stressed, frustrated, or angry? Or are you full of self-doubt, have low mood and wonder where your life is going?. In times like these our emotions can be really overwhelming and it can be difficult to understand what to do, or who to turn to for help. I offer a safe space to explore your feeling and thoughts, without judgement - a listening ear to boost your resilience and increase your self-awareness.

Reaching out for help takes courage, particularly if your self-esteem and confidence are low. But, if you want to make changes in your life then you may need support. People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons; anxiety, relationship issues, depression, bereavement, trauma etc. Perhaps you feel inhibited, have unhealthy patterns of behaviour or your emotions may be hijacking your ability to respond and keep perspective. Whatever the reason, the chances are you are feeling deeply distressed. You don’t have to keep struggling alone. Together we can work out what is causing you to feel threatened, overwhelmed or empty.

Counselling is an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential environment. I will help you through this process in a non-judgemental manner without telling you what to do. As a person-centred counsellor I focus on your needs as an individual, recognising that everybody is unique and special. I believe you are the expert on yourself, and with my help, can discover what you need to do to understand yourself and your feelings. Life can be hard to navigate, but I can walk alongside you to help you find your own way.

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.

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.

Do you ever notice a feeling of dread at the day ahead or that you’re constantly worrying and berating yourself? Do you struggle with sleep, or sleep too much but still wake up feeling exhausted? Do you find yourself playing over conversations, picking apart the things that you said and how people responded, worrying about what they think of you? How would you like to feel happier, more confident and energised? To sleep better, look forward to your days and be kinder to yourself? These are just some of the areas I can help you with.

Are you stuck, feeling lost or alone, afraid or upset? I aim to help you to make sense of your experiences, will listen with kindness and curiosity and will work with you to help you identify and overcome the obstacles that are getting in the way of you living the life that you want.
