Becky Simpson-Ryan

I am a Humanistic Integrative therapist, which means my "eclectic" style of therapy is adaptable to the individual. The integrative approach views the client as a whole and considers many different therapy styles and approaches to find what works for the individual, and appeals most to their personality and attachment style. I use many techniques but specialise in Transactional Analysis.  I see my clients as people, not jargon and I don't believe in putting a time limit on the therapeutic process. Everyone is different and has different needs.

I am very experienced and currently work as a Senior Counsellor at The Sanctuary in Shildon, (www.sanctuary-shildon.org) as well as my own private practice in Bishop Auckland, County Durham. My offices are comfortable, private, spacious, and COVID secure in line with current government guidelines.

With a background in Psychology and a combined experience of over 8 years, I can help with a range of presenting issues. I specialise in, but not limited to working with the following:

Anxiety

Depression

Bereavement and loss

Identity

Confidence and self-esteem

Trauma 

Sexual abuse

Anger Management

​

I offer both weekly and fortnightly face to face therapy sessions. I also offer online counselling sessions via Zoom - Get in touch to find out more.
