Welcome. I provide a friendly and professional counselling service, face to face in the York area or online. Offering confidential support for whatever you are going through.
Hello and welcome to my website. Please note that I am not currently taking new referrals.
Sometimes life can be challenging. You might feel deeply affected by events in the past or present, stuck in old habits or just uncertain about what you really want in life. It helps to have someone alongside you who will listen carefully and impartially, and who will help you to make sense of difficult thoughts and emotions. Counselling can help you find greater clarity and wellbeing, supporting you to live the life you really want.
I aim to meet you wherever you are, offering you the careful and compassionate support you need to explore what is important to you. I am a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I've provided counselling within a GP practice, a mental health charity and a sight loss charity. I'm based in York and deal with a wide range of issues, including:
-
anxiety
-
bereavement
-
relationship loss
-
low self esteem
-
stress at work
-
adjustment to major life changes
What is counselling
Counselling provides you with the opportunity to discuss any life issues or difficult feelings you are experiencing in a safe, confidential way.
You might want to work on specific changes in your life, or just have the space to explore thoughts and feelings in more depth than you have opportunity for during daily conversation. Counselling provides you with unconditional support, ensuring that you feel really listened to. It can help you to develop new awareness around a situation, looking at potential actions and clarifying what is most important to you.
