Counselling in YO1

I'm a registered Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I work with Children, Adolescents, Adults and also offer support to families. I've worked in the field for 9 years and have worked with the NHS, for charities and also as Clinical Lead managing a service in the North East. My background is in Psychology. Whilst I am passionate about research in the field and best practice, I am also a warm, approachable practitioner who is able to put prospective clients at ease. I understand how daunting coming to see a Counsellor or therapist can be.

Hello, my name is Kai, I'm here to support your mental health and self development. As an Integrative Counsellor, I have a range of options when supporting you. I adapt therapy to suit your individual needs. I've experience working with a variety of client concerns, a list of which can be found at the bottom of my page. I offer in person and remote sessions (telephone and online) available around your schedule. I'm available Monday to Saturday 10 AM to 7 PM, I'm also available for in person sessions on Fridays at the Scarborough Office I look forward to meeting you.

What has brought you here? Are you struggling with loss of another person, pet, career, physical health... Not feeling how you used to? Have you received some news and you'd like to work through it. Having relationship issues? Low self esteem? Whatever your unique situation is, I want to be alongside you in your journey – whatever terrain it may be! Be inquisitive about your nature, understand your world as a whole and what works for you. It would be a privilege to share this with you.

I am a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor offering counselling support within York city centre to young people (16+) and adults. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, anxious or confused by recent or past life events.  You may feel stuck; finding yourself making the same unhelpful life choices or struggle with relationships, repeating negative patterns.  You may need the space to find some self healing and acceptance.  It is not my place to tell you what you need to do, rather we will work together to help you find clarity, move forward and regain control. We may work short or long term.

Hello, I’m Nicky and I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. I work with people who are experiencing a wide range of concerns. I also specialise in supporting people with physical health conditions and I have been working in NHS cancer services for over 15 years. I have extensive experience of working with people who are living with conditions such as cancer, diabetes, persistent pain, gastrointestinal problems (such as IBS), dermatological issues and also life-limiting illnesses. In addition to this, I also work more generally with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, relationship difficulties and trauma.

Life can feel tough and challenging at times. This may be following a specific life event, a change of circumstance, or for reasons completely unexpected or unknown. When we are struggling with something difficult we can often feel unhappy, confused, anxious or overwhelmed, with a sense of feeling stuck and unsure of where to start or what to do. Whatever your reason for accessing therapy, I believe that we all have the capacity for change and positive personal growth and that counselling can support you to bring about the change you want by helping you to find ways of placing yourself back in control.

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.

Life can be hard at times. We can experience loss, changes in our health, family circumstances or work life. Maybe our relationships are not fulfilling our needs and we do not know how to change things. At times, we don’t feel good about ourselves, we lose confidence in our ability to cope with life or maybe we feel impacted by past experiences or held back through feelings of anger, shame or guilt. Sometimes we don’t know what’s wrong, but we just know something isn’t right. I can help you explore what is going on for you by giving you a supportive space to talk and be heard.

I provide Couples Counselling and one to one Relationship Counselling within Leeds and York. I have counselling rooms within walking distance from Leeds and York City Centres. Both sites have access to nearby parking.

“I believe psychotherapy and counselling is an art – and an art of holding, containing, exploring and making sense of one’s internal and external worlds. I provide compassionate, and creative analytical therapeutic support for those experiencing psychic suffering, distress and emotional pain. ”

Perhaps you have had a bereavement, loss or other change in your life? Or maybe you feel stuck and you are not quite sure why you feel this way? Life can sometimes be challenging. Events in the present or the past can trigger unwanted thoughts or overwhelming feelings and it is not always easy to talk to family or friends about what’s going on for you. If you come to me for counselling, I will offer you a friendly and professional service, which respects your privacy and your concerns. You can feel comfortable to discuss whatever you need to, and be assured that I will try my best to understand and support you in the best way I can.

I’m passionate about helping you make more of your life, whether you want to work on a personal, psychological, relationship or spiritual issues or to find more meaning, fulfilment, purpose and happiness in life. I have a Masters degree (with Distinction) in Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice. I offer short and longer term counselling and psychotherapy. My clients are equally men, women and couples of many professions, occupations and nationalities, aged 18 or much older. I counsel UK and overseas clients. I also offer Person-Centred Couples Counselling, and Supervision to other counsellors and professionals.

I appreciate that it can feel difficult in asking for help and to put trust in someone you have never met, especially with often upsetting and difficult issues. It can feel like we may have somehow failed or its a last resort in trying to resolve difficulties. I have helped many people like yourself, who also felt unsure initially on what to expect and feelings of trepidation or embarrassment in asking for help. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is all important to be effective in addressing the issues and helping you to make the changes that you want and to get things back on track.

Now is the right time for a positive life change with professional support. A difficult problem can make you feel 'stuck', or experience anxiety, or depression, and possibly be overwhelming. If the problem persists perhaps it could impact on the people you love, or your job, or home, or even your peace of mind. I help you to find calm and strength and confidence to change and improve your life. I work with adults and teenagers. Send me a message.

I am very much committed to helping my clients be the best version of themselves, however they identify. I believe that everyone has arrived at the version of themselves they are today because of what they’ve been through, and that there are always understandable reasons why someone is having a tough time or struggling with something, no matter what that difficulty might be. Because of that belief, I am far more likely to ask what has happened to you, verses what is wrong with you - even if you have a diagnosis.

I provide a safe and confidential environment to reflect and talk about the relationship with your self, others and the world. I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I see each person as an individual and will work collaboratively, supportively and respectfully alongside you with whatever it is that has brought you here at this time. I believe that although we cannot change the past, it is possible to see events and ourselves differently; no longer being controlled by the past but using it as a means of understanding why the present might look or feel as it does, gaining awareness and regaining power for the future

I work with adults and young people (16+). My clients come for a range of reasons. I have experience working in a range of settings with clients who have different goals/needs. However, most of my experience is with clients who have experienced trauma. Usually this work is around supporting clients to work through or process the things that cause them distress, and exploring what living more fully or meaningfully looks like, so that they are less impacted by things that have happened in the past. I welcome all enquiries, and I welcome students and trainee therapists.

Many of us experience times in our lives where we feel emotionally depleted. Events take place where we find ourselves with little or no control, which can cause stress and anxiety, feeling out of our comfort space, frightened and sometimes lonely and isolated. The core of my approach is Person Centred. To work with you and build a therapeutic relationship, creating a safe environment to talk, feel listened to and to have your feelings validated. The forming of this relationship is important for the therapy to evolve and flourish. When two people are engaged in a therapeutic alliance, trust and safety are a priority.
