About me and my therapy practice
I am a professional counsellor offering private therapy sessions in Wetherby and York. I work with adults on a one-to-one basis and am here to help with whatever difficulties you may be going through.
I do this initially by listening to what is causing you distress and talking through it with you. We then build up a picture of the problem so together we can consider what changes could happen for you and whether you want those changes to take place.
This could relate to specific problems like anxiety and depression, or be something more general that is harder to put into words. Whatever the issues, we would work together and at your own pace, to find better ways of coping and dealing with your distress that can improve things in your life.
My background:
I am a qualified integrative counsellor working in private practice. I have comprehensive training in counselling and therapy with a broad range of knowledge in different therapeutic approaches. My previous background has been as a mental health nurse, supporting people in the NHS and private healthcare.
Practice description
The sessions:
I offer face-to-face therapy sessions that last 50 minutes and take place on a regular basis at the same time each week. I work from a comfortable room in my private practice near Clifton Moor in York.
My first session
The first session can often be a daunting experience as you may be unsure what to expect. I see the first session as simply an opportunity for us to meet and I will aim to put you at ease throughout the session.
You can tell me as little or a much about yourself as you wish and I can explain more about how I work as a counsellor, answering any questions you may have.
At the end of the session, you can then decide if you would like to meet with me again or we can look at what other support or therapies may suit you better if working with me doesn't feel right.

Abuse, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression, Loss, Men's issues, Obsessions, OCD, Phobias, Redundancy, Self-harm, Stress, Trauma, Work related issues
