About me and my therapy practice
I offer sessions face to face in Harrogate or via Zoom.
I am a BACP accredited counsellor, psychotherapist and coach. I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced helping clients with relationship issues, anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and many other issues.
Below is an outline of the Counselling, Coaching and Couples therapy that I offer. If you wish to know more please visit my website.
Individual counselling and psychotherapy
Working together with you, I aim to help you process difficulties by offering a supportive space for you to explore your experience and feelings. Counselling is a space to heal, process what's going on for you now and perhaps explore your past. Counselling allows you to understand yourself better. I hope to enable you to identify your resources and strengths and to encourage positive change.
I tailor the work to you depending on what you wish to explore and how many sessions you require.
Whatever the issue counselling and psychotherapy gives you a space to explore where you are in your life, how you got there and how you can move forward.
Coaching
Coaching is for when you are ready for change. You may feel stuck and be ready to move forward but be unsure how. If you are looking to grow your confidence, career, business or looking to increase your life balance and fulfilment then coaching can help.
Coaching is a partnership and I will provide a supportive space and encourage you to explore where you are at the moment and where you want to be. I use my therapeutic experience to work alongside you in exploring any barriers or blind spots that are holding you back from your full potential.
If you are unsure whether counselling or coaching would be most suitable for you, please get in touch and I am happy to discuss this with you.
Coaching usually lasts 4-9 months and sessions are less frequent than therapy. We would usually meet every few weeks and be working towards specific goals.
Practice description
Couples Therapy
I am a certified Imago Couples therapist. I work with couples wanting to improve their communication and work to improve and restore connection.
When working with couples my role is to help you learn to communicate in a way that strengthens your relationship, enabling you to feel safe to express yourself freely with your partner so that you can both feel understood. My aim is to help you make lasting positive changes to your relationship.
Together we will explore why there may be disconnection, what you need and how to get the relationship that you both really want. I will bring compassion and a non-judgemental approach to working with you both and your relationship.
My approach is not suitable for couples where there is any level of physical aggression, violence or emotional abuse. I would in this instance recommend speaking to an individual therapist and seeking advice and information from https://idas.org.uk
