Louise Murray

 I have worked as a Counsellor for 25 years.I offer a caring,genuine and respectful relationship to people who are feeling troubled. I provide a safe space, where you will be listened to carefully and accepted without judgement. 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. 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.
