Howard Young

In what seems like a lifetime ago, and in many ways, it is, I had no idea who I was or what I should be doing. In many ways, it might appear my life was good and I had things together. But it felt empty. Unsatisfactory. But I couldn't do anything about it. 

I should have got help.. But I didn't. Eventually I broke. I lost everything I had, relationships, my home and had to start again. For you to be looking for help, you have my admiration for taking that responsibility that I couldn't. 

With nothing left to lose, I searched for this missing purpose to my life. It was very much an existential journey. I learnt a lot. Somewhere along the way, I found myself in the first counselling training course.

In learning person centred theory and becoming a therapist. I found my meaning and purpose. More than a passion. Being able to offer you support and facilitate growth is everything to me. To help you, is to help myself. To help myself, I help you. We do it together. It is entirely possible. Take the chance. If not with me, then someone. You don't have to live that way. 

I'm a person centred therapist. You will hear person centred therapists tell you we go at your pace. We listen, we understand your world as you see it. For a person centred therapist, you are the expert of your life. We walk along side you. We figure it out together. I can't tell you my 'fixes' to problems. We will find your solutions together. 

In our sessions, you will find a warm, confidential, and genuinely accepting environment. 

I have an assessment form to complete before we can get started.

If you'd like a telephone conversation before committing to a session, by all means get in touch. 

The first session is mostly talking about how we can work together and what you can expect, so I do this session for half the price. From there you can choose what's right for you.
