Counselling in YO24

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.

I am an experienced counsellor of more than 10 years, providing counselling for couples and individuals in York. I offer a warm and open environment to explore, together, some of the difficulties or experiences that may have brought you to counselling. Couples counselling need not be a sign of breaking up. Instead, Couples Counselling provides a safe, neutral space for those who are struggling in their relationship, or wish to address a range of relationship issues. It has the potential to resolve past hurt and present conflict. Attending sessions together can initiate a more productive way of communicating.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty adapting to the ever-changing demands of the world, or finding it hard to express yourself, you don't have to cope alone. Flexible Mind Psychology offers specialist therapy for those who are feeling disconnected or isolated, even when they are around lots of people, leaving them feeling unable to access help from others or unable to contemplate new ways of thinking. If you are someone who is often assumed to be coping perfectly well, who doesn’t like to make a fuss, and who appears to be okay on the outside but who is actually struggling on the inside, get in touch.

I'm an integrative relational psychotherapist and I use my experience of talking and relating to you in sessions to understand your way of being in the world, how you make sense of it and how you relate to others. Your journey is unique. Every time I've been listened to and understood I've come away feeling cared for and valued with a new sense of worth. I've learned that change is inevitable and that how I care for myself in the present affects my future.

York Music Therapy supports individuals by Bringing Quality to Life! People living with ASD and/or learning difficulties are unique and need space to explore their individuality.

YMT nurtures the relationship built between therapist, client, and music in respect of psychodynamic and humanistic underpinnings that hold clients' best interests firmly in mind. We understand that working with multidisciplinary teams can provide the best person-centred care and appreciate guardian input.

Hello. I'm Sue and I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist working online across the UK to give you the flexibility to meet from your own home or chosen safe place. I also offer appointments in the lovely village of Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, if you feel you prefer to meet in person. I'm an integrative therapist which means that I adapt how we work to suit your individual needs. I'll work alongside you to explore and better understand what is going on for you in a space where you can be heard in a supportive, non judgemental and compassionate way,

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to friends and can't talk to family, it is all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non-stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friends, sudden or chronic terminal illness, loss of the person you used to be, ageing, guilty lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving, or the prickling heartache from loss of your pet. You don’t even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self. You need a safe space.

Are things getting on top of you, so that your day to day living is a struggle, and your relationships with others are strained? Do you feel like past, or current, events are effecting how you cope with life today? I help people feel more confidence in their relationships by identifying the hurdles that are holding them back. I help people to find peace of mind by managing their anxiety or low mood. I support people through their bereavement to enable them to enjoy life again. Let me help you to make sense of your difficulties, so that you can connect more positively with your loved ones and the world.

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I love helping individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, become more self-accepting, heal and achieve personal growth. We all face challenges that test our emotional resilience. There are times when these challenges become too overwhelming and you may be finding it difficult to bounce back from your problems. Recognizing that you aren’t coping well with your challenges and emotional discomfort is a significant step to healing and asking for help can be highly rewarding. Instead of facing your problems alone, counselling can help you work through your issues more effectively.

Hello and welcome. We all need some help in life and, as a qualified counsellor, I am here to support you and work with you, in any areas causing you distress. You are not alone. We can work together to understand and get to the core of your difficulties. We can strengthen your mental health and emotional resilience. You may feel anxious, under pressure, have low self-esteem or simply feel overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings and feel unable to move forward. You may be a young person or adult experiencing difficulties, or you may be a parent/carer of a young person and feel as if you're struggling to cope.

Are you feeling anxious, lost or depressed?  Are you struggling to make sense of your life?  Are you finding interactions with other people difficult or confusing?  Have you recently lost someone or something important to you?  Do you find everyday life exhausting or wonder when you will feel like 'yourself' again? Sometimes we all need a helping hand to navigate the things that life throws at us, and sometimes our bodies and minds react in ways that we struggle to understand - I aim to offer you the space to explore these issues with someone who will not judge anything you talk about. I see clients at the weekend and Mondays only.

The counselling I provide offers you the time and space that so many of us need but often lack, especially when life becomes hard or you feel less able to cope as you once did. You may be struggling with depression, low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem, a relationship breakdown, bereavement, or perhaps there is no label that can best describe where you are at right now. Whatever the case and wherever you are at, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment for you to begin your counselling journey.

Hi there I’m Charly, I am a Person Centred Counsellor who will create a safe and trusting environment in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings confidentially. Working together with clients is what I enjoy most; adapting to their needs and working at a pace that works for them.

My 'specialism' or area of most experience tends to be working with low mood and depression. These labels, however, encompass a lot of varied emotion, experience and almost certainly other issues intertwined such as trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem or unhelpful coping strategies. Clients that begin to work with me often do so because they find that the way they feel has begun to affect areas of functioning in life.
