Transpersonal Counselling in Leeds

Hi, I'm Chris. I offer psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling in Leeds. I see therapy as the co-creation of a warm, authentic relationship, in which we create the conditions to shine a light onto the wounded or neglected parts of the self. I offer open ended sessions, which allows our work together to unfold naturally, leading us into the places where we can explore the roots of your emotional development and relational patterns. This is a process that encourages healing and growth, helping you to becoming more in tune and at ease with who you are as a unique person.

Hello! I am Mihaela, a registered integrative counsellor and coach specialising in working with loss and grief, life transitions and relationships, and working also with other presentations such as anxiety and depression. Clients who have worked with me say that I have helped them develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-worth, empathy for themselves and others, and a greater ability to navigate life's ebbs and flows. Working with me, you can expect to deepen your understanding of yourself, the unique resources and skills you possess, how these might support you and what else you need in order to get where you want to go.

My name is Dr Kamila Hortynska. I'm a Clinical Psychologist, CBT Therapist, Mindfulness Expert & Spiritual Life Coach with 23 years of clinical experience, (11 in the NHS). My approach is holistic, integrative & soulful, yet firmly based in health sciences & research. I believe YOU CAN live the life you desire & deserve, and shine so brightly, it will inspire everyone else to do the same! Are you ready to turn stress & exhaustion into vitality and pleasure? Feel radiant and free ...to be yourself? Open up to new possibilities & relationships? I’m an expert in helping people like you spring-clean their lives & introduce new habits.

Life is hard. Coming to terms with this can be very challenging, especially when we have to come to terms with circumstances that we feel unprepared for. This makes us feel anxious, uncertain and fearful. Suddenly the ground has shifted and our sense of security has been shattered. We feel vulnerable and isolated. Finding someone who can really listen and help is not easy. I will help you navigate this new place with compassion, kindness and understanding. I can help restore your confidence and give you the strength to continue to move forward.

Hi, my name is Sally. I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor with a BSc (Hons) degree in therapeutic counselling, gained from Leeds Beckett's University. I am an integrative counsellor, which means I incorporate different types of therapies in a person-centered way. Thus, I can offer you support that is especially catered for your needs. I am able to offer an environment that is empathic, cathartic and caring by creating a non-judgmental safe space for you to share how you are feeling.

You might turn to therapy for a number of reasons: having faced a life-changing event: trauma, bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or low self- esteem. You may struggle with functioning day to day, or feel overwhelmed by feelings and emotions that you don’t understand. Past life events can also get in the way of living your life in the present moment, and you may struggle to connect with others and feel isolated. Perhaps you feel as though no one really listens, or understands what you are going through. This is where confidential help and support in the form of therapy could be the answer.

As an intergrative therapist my aim is to provide you with support to work through a range of issues, anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, low self esteem, stress, cPTSD and relationship difficulties. My way of working is indepth and together, we will explore what your goals are. I have trained in a range of models so that I can offer you a compassionate and attuned presence. I have many years experience of supporting people and a deep understanding of how these issues, can impact upon one having a solid sense of self. Occasionally, I use creativity and parts work in the therapy session which can be powerful and transforming

My ideals clients are mainly Adults, Couples, EAP, Families, Groups, Older adults, Organisations, Trainees, athletes and Young people.

Beginning therapy is daunting. My job is to bring you space and deep listening; hearing what you need and responding compassionately and holistically to whatever emerges. I offer long-term psychotherapy, exploring what gets in the way of your connection with yourself and your relationships with others. These barriers are often unprocessed “knots” of pain revealed in our thinking, our feeling and how we walk, talk and interact. I enquire what it’s like “to be you” and together we explore how symptoms tell a story about your past, your present, and how your unknown or unloved parts can shape a new path.

I am a Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Trainer with more than fifteen years of experience. My approach is Humanistic, and I will take into consideration all your needs including mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and creative. I work on many different levels, combining traditional and modern schools of Counselling, Individual and Relationship Psychotherapy and research. My role is to guide you through the challenges of being in therapy by using reflections, questions, and different creative techniques to enable you to take part in the in the process of discovering your creativity, spontaneity and potential.

I am an experienced counsellor -offering Individual psychotherapy. I also work with EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing), a very effective and proven approach for the treatment of trauma. My approach to therapy is integrative. People are diverse and ways of facing and resolving problems vary from individual to individual I find that sticking to just one fixed approach would be forced and simplistic. I work drawing from different theories and approaches what feels best for each unique individual experience.

I offer a soulful approach to therapy grounded in the latest psychological theory. ​Often, it may seem that much of modern psychological therapy merely ruffles and reorganises the surface of the things that trouble us, seeing people who are experiencing psychological suffering as complex machines to which we can apply a set psychological theories. In contrast, after 20years of working as a psychological therapist, I believe it's more appropriate to approach clients as 'souls' in need of hearing, healing, connection, meaning, and renewal. ​

My name is Nicole and I am a Person-Centred Therapist. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I am here as a tool to be utilised for you to take control back from any intrusive thoughts and difficult circumstances that have been holding you back. I have worked with people (Adult, families and children) from a range of backgrounds, with a range of complicated histories and life stories - such as Fostering and Adoption, survivors and perpetrators of Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse Emotional Abuse and Neglect.

Expert effective help for those who are:- sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, or with problem alcohol, drugs, porn, sex, chemsex, controlling their life, or they are overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or a lack of interest in life they cannot 'shake off’. Others realise they are not ‘straight’, and struggle with painful shame around their sexuality. If you can relate to some of these feelings or experiences then I can help you identify and bring about positive change and a greater sense of being OK more of the time. I draw on my lived experiences and year's of extensive training to be Safe, Confidential and Effective for you.

Do you feel despair or a growing distance in your relationship no matter what you do? Are you struggling to communicate with your partner? My clients often tell me they miss warmth & affection and wish they could turn back the clock to happier times. Perhaps your partner had an affair and you're both scared and don't know what to do now. Either way, one thing's for sure: you’re desperate for some relief. It might be hard to imagine your relationship could be full of fun and laughter again but this has happened with my clients. Together we can move you from anxiety and stuckness to feeling happy again.

Hi, I'm Sarah. I specialise in trauma/PTSD, anxiety and depression, physical health conditions, spirituality and sexual and relationship problems. I am very experienced in third wave CBT, the trauma therapies (including EMDR) and energy psychology. I am polyamory, BDSM and kink aware. I am sex positive and supportive of diverse relationship orientations, sexualities and lifestyles. I have just completed a Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 5 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision and finding someone that you feel comfortable with is an important part of your process. I am relational, collaborative and holistic, placing value and importance in you, your story and your challenges and successes. You might be struggling with anxiety, anger or depression? Perhaps issues from your past keep resurfacing and you're looking for a way to move forward? Maybe you have noticed you feel different to the people around you? Or you might like to process an event in a safe environment with a professional?

I was born and raised in multicultural societies all my life. Living in several different countries on 3 different continents (United Arab Emirates, Canada, Pakistan, Wales and England) has given me unique knowledge about culturally adapting therapy. It has also taught me to understand and work with many different kinds of people. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the client to create a safe and comfortable space to address and potentially alleviate psychological trauma. I have extensive experience adapting contemporary therapy and counselling and tailoring it to unique cultural nuances.
