​

I'm a professionally qualified counsellor based in Barkston Ash, near Tadcaster. I offer in person appointments to adults and young people over the age of 14 and can work with you either short or long term. I am qualified to work with you on a wide range of issues, I am a registered member of the BACP and adhere to their ethical framework.

​

The relationship a client has with their counsellor is one of the most important aspects of successful therapy. I offer empathy and warmth, and a commitment to understanding your unique experience. I aim to build a trusting relationship with you, where you can feel safe to tell your story.

The process of counselling can help clients to gain a better understanding of their feelings, and increase their awareness of how experiences both past and present have impacted on the way they think about themselves.

Rather than someone giving you solutions or telling you what to do, it is a chance to have someone sit alongside you whilst you learn more about yourself and your relationships, leading to the opportunity for positive change.

For some people, counselling is the first time they experience someone truly listening to them.
