Trauma Focused Counselling in Scarborough

Hello, I'm Andrew a warm, compassionate Relational Integrative Psychotherapist based in North Yorkshire. Are you feeling listless, or perhaps live with anxiety or worry? Do you struggle to focus or have a feeling of being ‘elsewhere’? Do you suspect you might be addicted to work, food, social media, alcohol, legal or illegal drugs? I have lived experience of overcoming large life challenges and I can relate to what you bring to our sessions. I'll be right by your side as we move forward towards your greater sense of all you can be.

The aim of sessions is to work towards an understanding of the challenges you face and the changes you wish to make. During sessions, you will be the focus of our attentions and I will value you without judgement, as a unique person, an equal. Having been in counselling myself, I have an understanding of the process. It can be a daunting prospect, and I will support you in that journey. I have listed many specialities and whilst I do have experience of working with them, I believe there is more to you than a "diagnosis" or an "issue" so the focus is on you the whole person, and whatever you choose to bring. NOTE - OVER 18'S ONLY

Are you looking for affordable mental health support for yourself or someone you care about? I am a Relational Psychotherapeutic Counsellor in advanced training at Scarborough Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Institute, in my 4th year of training. I have been practising as a trainee counsellor since 2021 building supportive working relationships with clients, assisting them on their journeys through many different challenges and towards various ever-evolving personal goals. I hope always to offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore whatever feels important for you to share.

People visit a cousellor in order to feel better about themselves and their lives. I believe it is essential to be able to relate to my client before I can contribute in any way to their well-being. By taking a Humanistic approach and developing an understanding relationship with you I allow you to vent your feelings in order for healing to begin. I can help you in areas such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem as well as being a valuable resource for self- awareness and development. In a safe and warm environment I work with you to facilitate the changes you seek.

Hi, my name is Roy Yelverton, welcome to Calm Space, where I aim to provide a safe, secure, and Calm environment for my clients. Quite often people come for counselling and say they don't know where to start, and there is no wrong or right, absolutely no expectations from me as a counsellor, my role as a person-centred therapist is to work with the person, not the issue. I will encourage clients to be open and honest from the start, and I will let the session go wherever it needs to go. It is client-lead, and my role is to provide a safe space to support my clients in whatever issues they need to explore.

We are told how important exercise is for our physical well-being, your mental health is no different. Mental health and physical health are interconnected. Stress, anxiety, and depression can manifest as physical symptoms. So, maintaining good mental health can positively influence physical health. Therapy changes lives and for that reason, if you are unhappy, stressed, and not sure what to do, you need to remember that life is short, and you deserve to live the life you want. Put yourself first and do what makes you happy! I will help you become your own therapist, providing you with healthy tools and support tailored for you.

Coming to therapy can be a difficult decision to make. When we are having difficulty in our lives our thinking can become unclear or unhelpful and we do things that we think might help in the short term, but can perhaps have a negative effect in the long term. This can result in becoming trapped in unhealthy cycles where you may also be experiencing unpleasant emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help to unravel the complex human thoughts and emotions that sometimes contribute to being less than at our best, and find new ways of thinking and being to move forward.

I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist . After working in the NHS for a number of years, I set up my own practice in 2021, with the aim of providing a service to support people to access high quality, thorough and collaborative assessments and support. We provide neurodevelopmental assessments and work with both children and adults. We also provide therapeutic support for people following a diagnosis, for those who may self-identify as being neurodivergent and for people living with a learning disability.

Hello, I’m Dorrie. Finding a therapist that is right for you can be completely overwhelming; there is so much choice and sometimes, the therapist jargon can be a real head scratcher. As you read through my profile, have a think about if I seem like someone you could connect with, as that is such an important aspect of finding the right therapist. You may be seeking therapy because you are feeling depressed, anxious or may want to explore who you are and what that means to you. Together we will forge a relationship which will serve as a safe haven to express and explore yourself openly, without judgment.

Hello and welcome. You are probably here because you are finding something challenging or you’re not feeling yourself. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost. I will listen to you with great care and warmth, sometimes offer insights or different perspectives whilst we unpick your concerns and find a way forward. Together we will set the pace that feels right for you. My aim is to make this a fulfilling experience for you. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Counselling is an opportunity to be heard, to share with a trained person some of the difficulties that you encounter and to be supported to make positive changes to your life. I work in a respectful, empathic, understanding and compassionate way, providing a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. By reflecting on these experiences you can learn new ways of doing things and progress past what you feel is holding you back or causing you difficulty. I currently work from a comfortable and private space that is used solely for client sessions, online via video call or outdoors.
