Salus Counselling - Hilary Cartmel-Batty
About me
I am a pluralistic counsellor working with a diverse range of issues including, but not limited to, depression / anxiety / workplace stress / emotional distress / abuse / health related issues / PTSD / sexual identity / complex trauma.
Pluralistic means that I value diversity and recognise that you as a client are individual, what works for one person may not work for the next, therefore I tailor therapy to you and your individual needs.It is a collaborative process and together we will decide upon your goals for counselling and the best way to work toward them. We can use talking therapy with my presence to provide guidance and support, creative work, written work, CBT influenced interventions... if I am able to support an approach I am happy to give it a go!
I work from the Good Health Clinic which provides a range of holistic treatment's such as reiki and massage, in the heart of Selby. With ample free parking close to the building and easy access from York and Leeds, I am perfectly situated to make counselling a less arduous process.
In addition to standard Monday to Saturday sessions, I also offer limited evening and weekend appointments.
I offer a free 30 minute phone assessment which provides an opportunity for you to ask lots of questions about me and my practice, to discuss your issues and how we may approach them as well as, most importantly, getting to know me to decide if you would like to work with me.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
