Counselling in York

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with children, young people and adults with ASD and ADHD, as well as with a wide range of emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties. My approach is warm, friendly and professional, and I would never judge you or your problems, no matter how big or small they are. It's important to me that during our work together you feel listened to, understood, supported and encouraged.

Hello there, thank you for visiting my profile and taking the first important step towards emotional healing and change. I offer a warm, compassionate safe space with which to work together to help understand your current difficulties and dilemmas. With this new shared understanding, which often involves exploring earlier influential experiences, we can then develop an informed plan and strategies to help you move forwards in your life in a more informed, positive and resourced way. I am a senior Clinical Psychologist, with 22 years experience working in adult mental health in the NHS and more recently in private practice.

Welcome to my profile and thank you for stopping by. I’m guessing you’re here because you think it might be time to tackle your problems. You’re tired of the status quo and would love to achieve positive change. Having worked therapeutically with people since 1999, I have lots of experience of treating a whole range of issues, and have supported many people to achieve the health and well-being they always dreamed of. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that change is possible, particularly if the problem’s been around for a long time. I’m here to tell you that, with our mutual hard work and dedication, it really is within your reach.

Hello, Are you struggling with difficult emotions, repeating patterns in relationships or problematic behaviours? Maybe you've had painful or traumatic experiences...you've tried really hard to resolve things yourself but nothing seems to be working? Perhaps everything is getting on top of you and now you really want to find new ways to cope? Maybe you just want to be able to get on with the business of living your life, your way, whilst feeling at ease with yourself and comfortable in your own skin? If so, I'm so glad you are here seeking professional help and support. Please read on to find out how I may be able to help you.

I'm a fully-qualified and BACP registered counsellor specialising in anxiety, depression, relational challenges and self-esteem issues. Through collaborative therapeutic work, I aim to empower you to explore and reframe your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a non-judgmental, understanding and restorative way. Everyone has the capacity for self-awareness, growth and healing, and I strive to create an empowering therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard, understood and valued. Explore your concerns, gain insight into your experiences and develop more fulfilling ways of living.

Are you currently feeling a bit stuck and are trying to work out why you're feeling this way? Do you feel at a crossroads and are not sure which is the right direction for you? Are you finding it difficult to move forward and enjoy your life? If you are struggling you may believe there is something "wrong" with you but the truth is there will be good reasons for your difficulties. I can offer you a space, just for you, to talk about your difficulties, understand how they started and then work together to find a way through it.

Feeling paralysed by anxious thoughts and harsh self-talk? Sick of struggling to accomplish your goals? Not sure what you want out of life? Or are you just wondering why daily tasks feel so damn challenging? You're in the right place. Your unique wiring can make it difficult to navigate the world sometimes - it comes with real challenges and no one can deny that or make it suddenly disappear. But guess what? You are worthy of experiencing peace, joy, and fulfillment, and I'm dedicated to guiding you every step of the way.
