Louise Murray

 I have worked as a Counsellor for 25 years.I offer a warm,genuine and respectful relationship to people who are feeling troubled. I provide a safe space, where you will be listened to very carefully and accepted without judgement.  I have training in several models and together we can work out which is the best approach for you. . You may be holding unhelpful beliefs about yourself, stopping you from moving forwards.Or you may need to talk about past events, in order to see a different future.Perhaps you have suffered a loss. I can work with long-standing issues and/or a current situation.I am committed to working with Diversity,open to each individual from within their own context, which will differ from mine. I offer some concessions in line with your income/circumstances. I work from a light-filled room in the centre of Hebden Bridge. There is ample parking.
