Caroline Kitching

Hello, it’s lovely to meet you.

Welcome to Inner Reach Therapy! 

My name is Caroline and I am very pleased you have stopped by to visit my page.

I am a qualified counsellor and I have many years of supporting individuals experiencing mental health challenges, low self-esteem, relationship and family problems as well as more complex issues such as domestic abuse and trauma.

With a background in farming and working in a rural community, I understand the issues faced when working and living in an isolated and demanding environment.

More recently I have devoted my time to working with vulnerable individuals with symptoms of trauma.

My counselling practice is neurodivergence and LGBTQQIA+ affirmative.

I aim to tailor our work together to suit your needs at all times, and our work together is just that...an equal relationship working to one common goal...your optimal mental health.

As a qualified counsellor I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and trauma-informed practises, to help my clients overcome negative thought patterns and behaviours. 

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body.

My counselling room in situated at Tower Court, Oakdale Court, York which is a dedicated, private therapy room . I offer face-to-face and online appointments.

The centre is fully accessible to wheelchair users and there are toilet facilities onsite for your use. It is accessed easily from the A1237 ring road (North East of York). There is plenty of parking available at the site and parking is free whilst you are in session with me. The site is also serviced by the local bus routes. 

I am pleased to be able to invite you to an initial online consultation to allow us to 'meet'.  In this 20-minute session, we will get to know a little more about each other.  Should we both feel that our work will be beneficial, we can then set a regular appointment time either at my counselling room in Tower Court, York or online via Zoom.

*What will happen during our first counselling session?*  

This will be for an hour and will allow me to discover more about you and what you want to get out of counselling.  I will ask you to complete a contact form and we will go through an 'outcome and expectations' form together.

Our work together is collaborative and any goals or plans we set will always be driven by you.
