Giles Prichard

I am available on Thursdays 8am to 8pm to meet in person in a tranquil space in Hebden Bridge, Calderdale and Wednesdays and Fridays 8am to 8pm for online or telephone appointments.

I am a registered psychotherapist and counsellor offering a thoughtful, creative space to explore and understand your situation.  I have a particular interest in autism and Asperger syndrome.

People have come to see me to ease 'stuck' patterns in relationships, to make sense of the impact of early experiences, to find ways of living more freely and to wonder about neurodivergence.

Whatever it is you wish to attend to, our work is collaborative and at your own pace.  My job is to listen, to think with you, and to develop new meanings together.  Our work can invoke creativity in all its many forms, humour, silence and wonder, as much as it involves the pains we experience in our lives.  

If you’re new to therapy, it may be a sizeable step to reach out.  It's also a huge investment in yourself.  At the heart of my practice is the belief that through meeting regularly and being curious about your experience, a natural and inevitable process of growth will unfold.  

Within us all I believe there's a natural energy for emotional growth: I see my job to work collaboratively with you to create an environment where that energy can do its work.  Sometimes the work may be slow and perhaps challenging  but it will always be at your own pace.  Behind the scenes therapy can move things around for the better; paradoxically, there is a change but you are still the same. 

I have a special interest in working with people who are wanting to think about Asperger's or Autism Spectrum Condition.  

I offer a free 30 minute phone or video call to talk about what you're wanting: we won't be doing any therapy and there's no obligation to book another appointment.  

If we agree to work together my fees are £40 for an initial session, and thereafter £60 per one hour session or £330 for six sessions.  There may be concessionary slots available - please enquire.
