Íø±¬ÃÅ

My practice hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays (daytime) and Thursday and Friday evenings. Session times are flexible depending on availability. I am available throughout the week to respond to enquiries and conduct introductory phone calls to answer any questions you may have and see if I'm able to offer what you're looking for. 

I offer both face to face and online sessions depending on your needs. 

Hi, I’m Charlotte, a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ). I am a warm, friendly and approachable counsellor and appreciate it can be daunting to reach out for therapy so I want to provide a clear view of what you can expect from working with me.

I have experience of working with a range of issues, including severe anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, bereavement and have a particular interest in disordered eating and parenting challenges. I am also a trauma informed counsellor, and have trained in self-harm and suicide.

I will follow your lead and support you through the exploration of your issues, standing alongside you through what I know can be a difficult journey. I understand that it can be hard to find clarity in your thoughts using words alone, which is why, where appropriate, I offer creative and exploratory techniques such as sand tray therapy to help you communicate your inner experience and what you're feeling.

I believe the success of counselling relies heavily upon the relationship between counsellor and client, as such, I want you to know I’m a warm, friendly and approachable counsellor who works to empathise and understand what you’re going through and help you feel understood.

By working together we can:

-Provide you with psychoeducation to help you understand your thoughts and feelings better,

-Build your self-esteem,

-Help you to accept yourself,

-Provide you with effective tools to live a more fulfilling life,

-Reduce stress and anxiety,

-Practice boundary setting and help you feel better about saying no,

-Strengthen relationships,

-Reflect on unhelpful thinking patterns and relearn more helpful ones.

I will work with you to realise your own therapeutic goals and provide a tailored approach to support you to reach them.

My practice is based at the Regus Building at Clifton Moor, York. From here I can offer both face to face and online sessions. 

It’s important that your counsellor is right for you, which is why I offer a free, no obligation 20 minute call to help you make that decision. Simply get in touch to arrange your initial call and from there you can decide whether or not it's something you wish to take forward.
