Counselling in YO1

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.

My areas of interest are working to assist others to find meaning and direction in times of personal difficulty. As a client you may yearn to have deeper understanding of your inner world and make sense of how it manifests in your life, or maybe you just need to be in a space where you feel cared for and heard – I offer a warm empathic approach, to support feeling safe so to enable you, to journey at your pace to tell your story and express yourself. Counselling can allow you to find awareness of your natural hidden ability to cope, which will support you in managing your life more effectively in relationships and other areas.

Working in York city centre as a qualified BACP registered Counsellor, I provide support to adults with a wide range of issues. Perhaps anxiety and low self-esteem are impacting on daily life.

These are challenging times and issues that have felt manageable or in the past may have come to the surface. I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where we can work together to help you make sense of your experiences, thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.
