About me and my therapy practice

I am a registered MBACP (Acred)counsellor and have practiced as a counsellor since the year 2000 and have worked using an integrative model of therapy. This is where several distinct models of counselling and psychotherapy techniques are used together to meet the individual needs of the client.

I work with couples, individuals, children and young people.

I have two private therapy rooms one is located in  York and the other is located in Thirsk.

Flexible appointment times are available to suit you, please leave a contact number and email address if using the online contact form.

I am also a qualified supervisor able to provide individual and group supervision to Therapists, and professional practitioners.

Practice description

I am an integrative therapist which means I am able to draw on a range of therapies that suit the clients presentation.

I continue to expand my level of training by attending regular training sessions to keep my knowledge and skills up to date.

I like to offer an initial consultation/assessment session which is where I will ask you if you would to provide a history of the problem/s you’re experiencing or to tell “your story”. 

Sometimes people are not necessarily experiencing a problem as such, but they just want someone to talk to who can be neutral with them. This is different to talking to friends and family members, and can add value to self. A time that is just for you is important. 

The sessions are for up to 50 minutes (family sessions 60 minutes, walk and talk sessions 1.5 hours) and will be time to look further into why you are seeking therapeutic support at this time. In family or couple counselling it is ok for everyone to have a different therapeutic goal.    

My first session

• The first session, known as the consultation/assessment session may include talking about past and present life events, feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. Talking about these things may take time and it is important that you feel comfortable with what you share, therefore it is not necessary for all things to be included in this session.

• I will do my best to help you and discuss the best approach to support you

• It’s important that you feel you’ve had the opportunity to tell me about what’s troubling you and what your expectations are regarding moving forward in counselling. Following the assessment, I will share with you my recommendations with regards to moving forward should we decide to proceed together or it maybe that I it is necessary to sign post you to a different service, which I would reccomend to you rather than do for you..
