Therapist - York

York YO62
07816120736
Sessions from £50.00

Features

  • Flexible hours available
  • Concessionary rates

Availability

I have available sessions for adults, couples and young people.

I offer sessions in Ampleforth on Tuesdays and in York on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

About me and my therapy practice

I work with adults, children, young people in York and Ryedale and use a range of ways to help people work through and process difficult feelings and experiences. I believe that it is through developing a relationship of absolute trust that my clients can process and come to terms with whatever they may be struggling with. Life can be very hard at times, and having some support can make all the difference. 

My work is integrative which means I use a range of theoretical perspectives. I use talk, play and creative work and games to build the therapeutic relationship. My work is person-centred which means that my clients are in charge. I won't ask intrusive questions, we talk about what is troubling the client as and when they are ready. 

My background is in teaching and supporting children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties. I have a good understanding of the pressures  young children and young people experience and the impact this can have on families.

I have particular expertise in supporting bereaved adults and children.

I aim to work closely and cooperatively with parents and caregivers.

Practice description

I offer a free confidential telephone conversation to arrange the first session and discuss the main issues to be explored.

I work with individuals face to face and offer a confidential space to explore difficult feelings.

I have consulting rooms in central York and in Ryedale.

My first session

In our first two sessions, my aim is for us to decide together whether we are comfortable with each other. I believe the therapeutic relationship can only develop in the context of trust and ease.

I will ask a few questions and between us we will work out how we can work together. With younger clients, we may play, I will lay out various activities to be chosen from.

At the end of this session I ask clients or their parents to contact me to let me know if they want to continue..
