Liz Burnham MBACP (Accred) UKCP Reg.Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

Profile

Whatever the issues which are bringing you to counselling, I can offer you a safe supportive and confidential space to gain new perspectives and help you find ways to resolve them.

I can also provide you with information about more specialist services if this is appropriate.

With long experience in working with individuals, children and families I currently work within both the NHS and voluntary sector providing professional, effective counselling for both adults and children.

I adhere to the BACP and UKCP Code of Ethics as well as relevent Child Protection Policies.

Counselling begins with a assessment session to find out more about the difficulties that you are experiencing, and to share with you how counselling may help.

If you then decide to go ahead we will agree the goals of therapy the number of initial sessions. After six sessions a review takes place to reflect and adjust the therapy if necessary.

Most people find around 8 to 10 sessions are helpful for lasting and effective therapeutic change to take place.

As an Integrative Counsellor I draw on a number of therapeutic models and can therefore tailor the therapy to meet your specific needs.

I am separately qualified to work with children from age 5, where I use play therapy and other creative methods. Please contact me for more information about this service at www.northyorkshirechildtherapy.bacp.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you!
