Louise Murray

 I offer a caring, genuine and respectful relationship to  people who are feeling troubled. I provide a safe place where you will be listened to very carefully and accepted without judgement. We can work together     to find new answers to the thoughts , feelings or memories which may be upsetting you , or holding you back.  I can work with deep longstanding issues and/ or support you through a current situation. I am committed to working with Diversity, understanding each individual from within their own context, which will differ from mine .It is important that Therapy is affordable and  I   offer some concessionary rates, in line with a client's income or circumstances. I work from a calm, light filled room in the centre of Hebden Bridge .It is 6 minutes walk from the Train Station and there is ample parking.
