Counselling in YO31

Hello, I’m Claire, thank you for visiting my profile. There are many reasons why you may be seeking counselling. Feeling overwhelmed? Feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Feeling anxious? Trouble sleeping? A general feeling that something is not right but you don’t know what? Feeling angry at the challenges that life is throwing at you? Don’t know which way is up? Want to change something in your life but are fearful to do so?

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.

With much understandable anxiety, overwhelm, depression, loss and sadness at this time, I offer a caring, safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore whatever brings you to therapy at this time. Alongside you, I may work towards enabling a surer sense of yourself; safely working with relationship issues (in the past or present); to understand life-changes (e.g. divorce/separation/retirement/identity issues/ bereavement and loss); and in working traumatic moments or life-events. I offer short and longer term work. Each session can potentially discover something new as a spur to growth and healing.

Hello there. I am an Australian counsellor offering individual and couple therapy as well as group work and parenting programs online or from my rooms in York. I work with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship breakdown, self-acceptance and understanding. I specialise in postnatal depression and anxiety and the huge adjustment to parenthood. I can welcome babies into sessions where needed. I am warm, supportive and passionate about the value of counselling. Call, message or email me to arrange a free telephone call to see if I am right for you. I am also an accredited Circle of Security Parenting Program facilitator.

Are you struggling with what life is throwing at you? With relationships, past experiences, anxiety or depression? We all have time times in life when we need to access help and share what is hard, with someone by our side to listen and help us make sense of things. Counselling helps us to look at what we’re experiencing and brings an awareness to how we respond to life’s challenges. This can give you an insight into the choices you have, to help you to grow and feel more confident to make those choices, improving your life and how you feel.

I have a particular interest in working with individuals who are experiencing intrusive thoughts and difficult feelings around death (their own or others). This experience is commonly known as death anxiety or thanatophobia. The foundation also specialises in working with people experiencing related difficulties such as being preoccupied by issues of transcience, impermanence, change, ageing and loss. They may also be afflicted by a sense of purposelessness or meaninglessness. People experiencing such difficulties to a significant degree might be said to be experiencing existential or philosophical OCD.

A very warm welcome, I have person centred counselling and psychotherapy sessions available within a week. I’m interested in what you need? Do you need to express what’s happening for you? Do you need some support to manage your thoughts and feelings? Life can be tough at times, are you feeling angry, sad, lonely, anxious, depressed, stressed, overwhelmed? Do you need to seek a way forward? I aim to offer a therapeutic relationship through a compassionate connection. I provide a non judgmental environment, free from evaluation. Whatever your facing, I will do my very best to support you, so that you don’t have to face things alone.

I work with individual clients and we create a growthful and supportive relationship together. I meet a wide range of issues; most recently I seem to be working with relational difficulties with partners & in family, with anxieties of many types, and with low mood & depression. See my website at www.counsellingyork.com for lots more information.

Coming to therapy can be a difficult decision to make. When we are having difficulty in life our thinking can become muddled or unclear 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 cause us to get trapped in unhealthy cycles. You might be feeling unpleasant emotions or be trapped in a way of thinking that might be unhelpful. 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 Dr Sari Harenwall, a clinical psychologist based in York and online. I have a several years experience working for the NHS, not for profit organisations and privately. I am passionate about reducing human suffering through the provision of evidence-based therapy and coaching to help people build a more fulfilling life. I specialise in integrative physical and mental health including somatisation where emotional pain manifests itself physically. I have an interest in trauma and the impact on the body as well as anxieties, low mood, relationship problems and compassionate leadership.

I work with children and teenagers aged 11 and over who are experiencing anxiety. Managing anxiety requires motivation, effort and skills and we work on this in therapy. I’ll help your child recognise, understand and navigate the process of anxiety so they can handle however it shows up for them. I’ll help them practice and master body and brain-based skills that develop bravery and resilience so they can make the shift from perceiving experiences as threatening to seeing them as a challenge they’re willing to engage with.

Are you feeling stuck, unheard, unworthy? Are you living your best life, or is something holding you back? Life is challenging at times. Many things can trigger our internal critic, making us believe we are 'less than’ or are failing. We dwell in the past, worrying about mistakes, reliving painful events, remembering unhealthy relationships. It can feel impossible to see a way forward. There are many human emotions - are yours feeling balanced, or are one or two overwhelming the others?

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.

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.

I help you navigate positive life changes by providing professional support. Difficulties in life around relationships, anxiety, work stress, and trauma can feel overwhelming or create a perception that you are 'stuck'. No-one wants problems to impact on people we love, or our work performance or damage our mental health. I help you to find calm, strength and confidence to enhance your life. I work with adults and teenagers. Contact me for a free consultation.
