Therapy & Counselling

Therapy & Counselling Services in Harrogate

Sometimes, it helps to have someone really listen - without judgement, without rushing, and without a script.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, low in confidence, or simply unsure of your next step, therapy offers a space to pause and make sense of what’s going on. Through a combination of counselling and clinical hypnotherapy, I offer a calm, confidential space where you can explore what’s holding you back - emotionally, mentally, or physically, and start moving towards meaningful, lasting change.

You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, or a loss of direction. Or perhaps it’s something harder to name - a sense that things just don’t feel quite right. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to do it alone.

My approach is always flexible and tailored to you. We’ll work at your pace, and together we’ll find techniques and strategies that feel right - whether that’s talking things through, working with the subconscious mind through hypnotherapy, or a creative mix of both.

I commonly support clients with:

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Stress and burnout

  • Depression and low mood

  • Relationship or family difficulties

  • Grief and loss

  • Low self-esteem and self-worth

  • Difficult life transitions (e.g. separation, divorce, career changes)

  • Feeling stuck or overwhelmed

  • Understanding Your Needs

    Every journey starts with a conversation.
    In your first session, we’ll talk through what’s brought you here in a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space. There’s no pressure to have all the answers - this is your time to be heard.

    I’ll gently explore what you’re experiencing, how it’s affecting your life, and what you’d like to change or understand more about. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or something more complex, this is the start of your personalised support plan.

  • Targeted Therapeutic Support

    No two people are the same - and therapy shouldn’t be either.

    Together, we’ll find a rhythm that suits you. Some sessions may be space to talk and reflect, others might focus on specific tools or strategies. When appropriate, I may incorporate hypnotherapy to work with the subconscious and help shift deeply held patterns or beliefs.

    My approach draws from counselling, hypnotherapy, and complementary techniques, offering you a toolkit that’s truly tailored to your needs.

  • Ongoing Growth & Healing

    Therapy is a journey - and I’ll walk it with you.

    At the end of each session, we’ll reflect on where you are and decide what comes next, always working collaboratively. You’ll leave with practical tools, helpful insights, or small changes to try in daily life - whatever feels most useful in that moment.

    You’ll be supported throughout, with flexibility built in to adapt your sessions as your needs evolve. Whether you're looking for short-term guidance or longer-term support, I am here for you.
