“What is the bravest thing you have ever said?” asked the boy… “Help” said the horse (Charlie Mackesy). I feel passionate that you have the right to enter into a supportive relationship. I will offer you a safe space and time in which you will be accepted, heard and understood without any fear of judgement. It is a space to breathe and reflect at your own pace. I don't believe we have it all figured out, but from my own personal struggles and life experiences I do have an in depth understanding of how life-changing counselling can be. I would like to share your journey with you and I will value your bravery in asking for help.

There are many reasons people come to counselling. Life can feel overwhelming and we sometimes feel that we are not coping as well as we might. Do you need a safe, confidential space to be seen and heard? Would you like to explore your feelings and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions? You may have had counselling or therapy before, or you may be looking at it for the first time. Together, in confidence, we can look at your experiences, your past trauma or adversity and your current challenges.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile; I am a fully qualified and registered Counsellor since my degree in 2008 which is over 11 years experience helping people through all types of emotional concerns. I am offering a confidential counselling service for couples or individuals in the Yorkshire and Bridlington region. I have a non-judgemental and accepting approach. I am good at listening and supporting and will help you identify negative emotions or behaviours that will enable you to move towards growth and fulfilment in your life.

Taking the step to seek psychological support can be a daunting prospect. Understanding this, I work with clients in a collaborative manner, enabling a safe and helpful environment, so the client feels comfortable enough to share some of their life struggles. I am passionate about adapting psychological therapies so that they are accessible and meaningful. I value a non-stigmatising approach to understand complex mental health issues and see difficulties within a multi-layered context.

Sometimes we all need a little help, juggling the pressures responsibilities of work, families and relationships. Are you looking for someone to help you understand your anxiety or depression. I work as a Person Centred Counsellor/Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I work with depression, bereavement, general anxiety disorder (GAD) relationship issues, children (bullying/self-harm) and anxiety. Counselling can help alleviate some of the most distressing symptoms that people feel and allow you to see things from a different perspective. Therapy can help start this process of developing insight and self-awareness about your situation.

Distress comes in many forms: Maybe you’re struggling to cope with parts of yourself which feel ‘wrong’ or not good enough. Perhaps you feel scared and alone and wish that you could be seen and valued for just being you, and not what is expected of you. Maybe you’re not sure how you feel, or why you keep reacting to others the way you do; you just know that you don’t want to be stuck in unhelpful patterns or feel overwhelmed or out of control anymore. This list is by no means exhaustive; it is human nature to experience a range of difficulties but you don’t have to struggle alone, without support.

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be all along. Our lives present unique challenges – relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions, & chronic symptoms - often creating feelings of frustration, anxiety, & sadness. At such times it is easy to forget that we all need assistance in addressing these challenges, especially as they can often feel overwhelming, or even impossible, to deal with. We all deserve to have support when we are struggling, & often it is specifically this support that allows change to occur.

I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychosexual Therapist based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. I am a member of the National Counselling Society and The College of Sex and Relationship Therapist. I am fully insured and undertake regular clinical supervision. As a counsellor I have worked at length with individuals with anxiety issues, low mood and depression. I have worked extensively with children and young people in challenging environments, finding ways to overcome difficulties with family life, removing barriers to education and goal setting.

Welcome. Whatever you're facing and going through, it makes sense that you want to understand what you're feeling. Maybe you're having a stressful, even traumatic time and believe you've lost connection with yourself or those around you. Are you looking for navigation through your struggles? Do you want to break free from the experiences of your history that meant you've muddled through life not feeling good enough? Are you carrying trauma that is holding you back from being who you truly are? I offer a confidential space of safety and acceptance, working at your pace, so you feel heard and supported.

The aim of sessions is to work towards an understanding of the challenges you face and the changes you wish to make. During sessions, you will be the focus of our attentions and I will value you without judgement, as a unique person, an equal. Having been in counselling myself, I have an understanding of the process. It can be a daunting prospect, and I will support you in that journey. I have listed many specialities and whilst I do have experience of working with them, I believe there is more to you than a "diagnosis" or an "issue" so the focus is on you the whole person, and whatever you choose to bring.

Hello and Welcome, Taking the first step in finding the right therapist for you is not easy and can feel daunting at first. There is often a misunderstanding that you need to be broken or in crisis to have therapy. Let's start by busting this myth! Therapy is not about what is wrong with you, it's about exploring what happened to you. It is about working things out together and enabling you to make positive changes in your life and relationships.
