Counselling in Huddersfield

Talking to a counsellor can help you work through bottled up feelings and emotions that are affecting your overall wellbeing. Counselling sessions offer the time and space for you to explore and understand more about you and your upset.

You know yourself better than anyone, so I’m not here to advise or tell you what to do. Neither am I here to pass judgement. Instead I seek to create a confidential, trusting space where you feel safe and able to reflect on your life and talk things through. You do most of the talking; I listen and show you the power of being truly heard.

As a counsellor I work with adults and young people. My experience includes being employed part-time to work as a College Counsellor at a local Sixth Form College, working in a GP’s surgery to offer general counselling services to referred patients, and working with a cancer support charity, working with people affected by a cancer diagnosis (patients, family members, care-givers and the bereaved). I also work as an Associate Counsellor working with GamCare clients to help and support those affected by gambling addiction.

If you choose to work with me as your counsellor, my aim is for you to feel you’re walking into a calm, peaceful haven for one hour a week. This is your time. I’m disconnected from your life and you can talk to me freely and in confidence without feeling guilt or worrying about upsetting anyone. I’m there for you.

I’m a professional, BACP registered counsellor and work to their code of conduct. I hold a current Disclosure and Barring Service - Enhanced DBS certification, and am fully insured.

My counselling rooms are in Huddersfield, close to the M62 and easily accessible from surrounding areas like Brighouse, Halifax, Leeds and Manchester. I also work with people across the UK offering online and telephone counselling sessions.

How many counselling sessions will I need?

Everyone is different and I have worked with people short and long term. Most people benefit from 6-10 sessions on a weekly basis, sometimes fortnightly. When we first meet, I’ll find out more about your world and the difficulties you’re facing so that I can make an assessment.
