Female Counselling in Skipton, ENG

I am always mindful of the fact that taking the first steps towards counselling can be the hardest. Actually admitting you need some help. Finding the right person to walk with you on this journey is I believe central to the process of counselling. I am wholly committed to providing you with a safe, non-judgemental space, where you can begin to work through your difficulties. Mental health, is just like our physical health, it's variable and sometime we need help to recover, whether that be from a bereavement, anxiety, depression, long term trauma issues, etc

Perhaps you are finding life difficult at the moment and you would value help to find your way through being 'stuck'. Life can sometimes lead to emotional difficulties, feelings of stress, which affect our relationships or work. Counselling offers the opportunity to talk through your thoughts and feelings, helping you identify, explore and understand what doesn’t feel right within. The issues you are facing might be leading to low self-esteem, confusion, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts or self-harm. Counselling can help you develop internal resources, and alternative ways of thinking to help you move forward in your life.

I am a passionate and dedicated therapist specializing in working with children and young people. With years of experience in school settings, I have seen first-hand the remarkable positive impact that comes from truly seeing and hearing young individuals. I tailor therapy to each individual's needs, incorporating therapeutic play and expressive art therapy for younger clients. My approach fosters a trusting, non-judgmental environment where clients can thrive. As a French therapist, I understand the complexity of different cultures and am respectful of that, bringing a unique perspective to my practice.

Welcome, thank you for reading. I work with Adults experiencing Anxiety-based problems, difficulties with managing Stress, Depression and/or Self-Esteem. I have worked in the NHS and in the private sector for over 15 years and helping many people to build their confidence and a happier life. I use NHS endorsed Evidence-Based Treatments (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness) and have additional training in Compassion Focussed Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Do you feel like you're going round and round with a problem - maybe with a relationship or how you see yourself? Maybe you don't know how you want things to be, or you know what you want but can't work out how to do it, or don't have the courage to follow through? Are you constantly thinking about a particular person and wishing the situation, or one of you, could be different? Are you worried friends/family are tired of hearing about your problems? Are you feeling anxious, angry, rejected, or unimportant? Whatever your issues, I can help you talk about and process them, find solutions, and feel more at ease with yourself.

People come to talk to me for lots of reasons. Sometimes there is a defined problem, it may be longstanding or recent; it may be related to a life event or something upcoming that is raising anxiety; there may be questions or difficulties in some key relationships, or at work; it may not be clear at all, but you are experiencing unease and wish to get to the bottom of why. Coming to talk to a trained and registered psychotherapist guarantees a secure, safe and confidential space in which to explore any or all of the above, alone, as a couple or in a family group.

We work with children, young people, adults, couples, parents and families. We offer inclusive therapy to support those who hold a diagnosis of neurodiversity or behavioural/emotional difficulty. We also work with parents to discuss parenting strategies to build resilience in the household. We work with anyone from any background with a number of problems. These can include: behavioural and emotional problems, suicidal ideation, trauma, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting, family relationships, divorce, bereavement, illness, developmental disorders, eating disorders and more.

A warm welcome to all Adults and Couples. I'm a specialist trained and qualified Trauma Informed Couples Psychotherapist and Counsellor for individual adults. I believe we are complex creatures and affected by many aspects, including biology and how we have experienced the world we have lived in throughout our lives. I can help you if you're affected by; anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, self-harm, relationship difficulties, self-belief/confidence issues, etc. I will provide a safe space, to provide connection, help you understand what you're experiencing and why, to create long term change and growth in your future.

Throughout my career, I have been drawn to the relational aspect of therapy, recognising that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful catalyst for change. I believe that a collaborative and empathetic approach is essential in fostering trust, understanding, and ultimately, lasting progress. My clients have come to rely on my active listening skills, emotional intelligence, and non-judgmental attitude, which allows them to feel safe and supported as they navigate their personal struggles. I take pride in my ability to establish strong therapeutic alliances, enabling me to tailor my approach to clients’ individual needs and goals.

Are you struggling with anxiety or low mood? Are you having difficult and intrusive thoughts that are interfering with your day to day life and making it hard for you to focus or enjoy things? Have you been through a traumatic experience that is impacting your life in the here and now that you are struggling to process? I would love to work with you to help you to overcome the difficulty that you are having.

Is work having a detrimental impact on your mental health? It may be the nature of the work itself and you're considering a change or that the culture and specific relationships are creating stress, anxiety and low self esteem and you'd like help to reduce the impact both in the workplace and in other areas of your life. As a qualified Counsellor and Human Resources practitioner, I'm able to offer a unique service; a warm, welcoming and confidential space to talk about your problem, and an understanding of workplace culture and employment law that enables me to offer practical advice where appropriate.

I work with adults and help people address a range of issues. To discover more about my services please visit my website www.helenmaggiewatson.co.uk

Clients who can use art psychotherapy may have a wide range of difficulties, disabilities or diagnoses. These include, for example emotional, behavioural or mental health problems, PTSD, relationship issues, difficult experiences such as historical abuse or bereavement, life-limiting conditions and physical illness. It is not a recreational activity or an art lesson, although the sessions can be enjoyable. Clients do not need to have any previous experience or expertise in art so please don't be put off by the word 'art'. There is no pressure to use the art materials, sometimes just talking is enough.

It can be a daunting experience deciding to take the step into counselling, I aim to make the counselling space as comfortable as possible. As a therapist I provide a safe and confidential space where clients can open up and together we can explore the difficult feelings and emotions that may arise.  As an Integrative Psychotherapist I believe that not one type of therapy fits all, therefore bringing in techniques from different modalities of therapy, such as person-centred, CBT, Psychodynamic and Gestalt may provide clients with a greater therapeutic experience.
