Claire Stewart PgDip MBACP Accredited Psychoptherapist

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Therapist with a relational approach, based near the centre of York just a 5 minute bus ride or a 15 minute walk from the train station.

In every challenge or struggle there is hope to be found. It is important that you get support in a time of loss or anguish. Therapy can be a profound space to reflect on your needs.

As a experienced therapist who trained in part at Oxford University I can provide the expertise for resolving or coming to terms with issues that were previously thought too difficult to manage. I offer long or short-term work depending on what might be the best fit for you.

Previously I have been part of the NHS. I also worked behind the scenes for numerous mental health charities, such as Helen and Douglas hosipce based in Oxford. My experience has been working with youth and adult clients in and around the UK including Hull, parts of London, Oxford and Swindon. I am currently choosing to work from my private practice in the beautiful city of York.

Building tools and skills are essential in dealing with emotional stress in life. Part of the way I work means at times you have the chance to explore your past and how this may influence your present.

Not everyone will have to do this, but it is interesting that many of the life lessons we experience in childhood can over time become part of how we view ourselves.

The simple idea being that by understanding your past it will give you insight, power and opportunity to make meaningful changes. This part of therapy can certainly be exciting and thought provoking experience to have.

If you have any questions or just are curious to know more do feel free to contact me through email or text to arrange a free initial consult.

It's important that you feel comfortable in taking the first step towards therapy.

Whatever you may be going through you can rest assured that we will be working together in a way that will suit you.

For now-I am offering sessions on Skype and telephone. Once things have calmed down I will be returning to my normal face to face counselling.

What To Expect:
I generally offer sessions on a weekly basis and although sessions tend to be in the late afternoon or evenings, we can arrange a time and date that will suit you.

Initial Meeting:

I offer an initial appointment, free of charge, to explore whether what I provide will best suit your needs. This first meeting gives us the opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy and what you might hope to gain from it.
