Female Counselling in Leeds, ENG

Taking the first step to seeing a Counsellor can feel really hard. Perhaps you are wondering how it could help, feeling like maybe your problems don’t qualify, or maybe they feel so big that you don’t know where to start. Have you have been trying to talk to friends or family about it but feel like they are not really listening? Or do people just want to give you advice? Being truly listened to can make the world of difference; being really heard. I know from experience that this can give us the courage to work through the things we haven’t been able to face on our own.

You are the expert on yourself and your life. Making the first step is often the hardest, when emotions become too overwhelming for you to cope with alone and you feel you are unable to share them with people who you are closest to. This is where I can help and this is what I can offer you. I'm a qualified Counsellor and registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Everyone has their struggles from time to time, and what took me down the path of becoming a counsellor was my desire to help those in need, overcome their own personal obstacles. I can offer you a safe confidential non-judgemental

• Individual and couples counsellor. Therapy is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach because every individual is unique with different personalities, experiences and needs, finding the right counsellor is crucial for therapy. I offer a free 15 minute session over the phone to see if we are a good fit for each other and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions.

I work in a collaborative way with clients who present with unaddressed trauma, relational problems, anxiety, depression, low mood and a feeling of hopelessness. I have a special interest in trauma, attachment issues and addiction. Many of my clients identify with feeling stuck in their current situation or those who want to have a better relationship with themselves.

I support couples and individual to resolve life and relationship difficulties. To raise self confidence, self esteem and manage relationships impacted by current changes. I provide support for ADHD clients, if you feel last in yourself, lonely, feeling overwhelmed and trying to find how to coop in the present. If you experience heightened anxiety, overloaded mind, fear of the future. Working together will help to normalize the situation, strengthen your resilience, unlock resourcefulness and confidence. Develop and practice strategies to coop with current challenges, manage your feelings and behaviour. Find balance and contentment.

Is there a sense that life just doesn't feel quite right in some way. Do you feel that you are going through the motions and nothing seems to change. Are you struggling with relationships, work or a recent event or crises that has knocked you back. Perhaps you have experienced a loss whether that be a job, a relationship or loved one through bereavement. Or is the pain of your past feeling very much alive in your day to day life. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed or frustrated by your circumstances.

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

Are you someone who has struggled to find a genuinely safe, understanding and inclusive therapeutic or reflective space? Or have not yet found a professional who actually demonstrates having the expertise they tell you about? Are you still on the fence about taking that step forward? I understand.

Hello! I'm Emma and I am a qualified counsellor with a Masters Degree in Integrative Counselling from Leeds Beckett University. I am a member of the BACP and follow their ethical guidelines. Before I qualified as a counsellor, I studied for my BSc (Hons) Psychology degree, finding a particular interest in the counselling studies. I have a background of working with neurodiversity within young people and adults. I have previously worked as a special educational needs teaching assistant where I worked closely with students who have diverse learning needs, including those with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities.

Hi I am Lowri. I am a Psychotherapist with over 20 years experince of working with people with a range of mental health struggles, in a variety of different settings. I have been practicing as a CBT therapist for apx 13 years. I use CBT and EMDR as my main mode of therapy but use an integrative approach, drawing on elements of ACT, CFT, TA. I appreciate that no two individuals or experiences are the same. Therefore, I strive to offer an individualised flexible approach, to help you feel supported to take important but often scary steps towards change, regaining inner strength and control in your life.

Are you struggling with challenging emotions, anxiety, low mood, low self worth? Do you find yourself caught up in patterns of overthinking? Maybe you feel stuck in a situation, unable to make change happen, or find yourself in a period of change and re-evaluation. My role is to help you find a pathway to understanding and change. Our work together might simply be talking, exploring how you feel just now, your values and your sense of self, understanding yourself better or making sense of situations and events. Or we might work with emotions and patterns that come up in our sessions and weave in other approaches if they are helpful.

Are you feeling fed up and are ready to make a change in your life, or with the way you feel? I can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and depression by working on emotional regulation through both talking to work out why you are feeling the way you are and through practical techniques. We can work together through any areas of your life, from childhood through to the present day. I can also help with support for grief, loss or bereavement, or relationship issues, decision making and planning skills.

I am here to help you navigate through this emotional fog in a safe and fully accepting environment, I am able to provide a supportive healing relationship, that will help you better understand yourself, how you got to where you are, and how you can change the direction of your life by developing the skills and strategies to give you the best chance of flourishing as an individual and excelling within your full potential.

My name is Sam, I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I understand how difficult the decision to seek counselling can be through my own experience. You may feel unsure whether it's the right move for your child and how long they can continue to cope on their own. So many questions you may have, you may feel you and your child are a burden to family and friends and don't know who to turn to. Worried about returning to school/college or starting a new one, impacts of Covid, social isolation, family issues and relationships causing anxieties and stress which may affect day to day life, I can help.

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck and unsure of how to move forward. This could be due to a big life change, loss, relationship issues, parenting issues, anxiety, depression or making an important decision (to name a few). Maybe you don’t know why you feel stuck or unhappy and feel that you shouldn’t be! You’ve taken the first step by reaching out for help. I realise that counselling can feel daunting and overwhelming. I can offer you a safe, confidential space to explore any obstacle that you are struggling with, without judgement. Sometimes we need someone to just listen.

I offer an online confidential, caring counselling service for individuals to help you work through emotional issues such as bereavement, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress and past experiences that are impacting you in the present.

I have a special interest in counselling & coaching for neurodiverse individuals and provide additional insight & empathy through my own lived experience of neurodiversity. I also have considerable experience of working with both cancer patients & their supporters to manage their trauma & stress.

The connection and sharing of self, is the most humbling of experiences, but admittedly a little scary. . Be open to the idea that change occurs around us and help is available. I want you to feel supported at every step, and experience having your voice heard and your feelings understood. I offer both short -and long-term therapy. I am an integrative, trauma-informed therapist, which means I utilise a variety of different techniques dependant on what may be most beneficial to you and the issues you'd like to work on.
