About us
Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to talk about the issues affecting your life. It helps you explore your thoughts and feelings, enabling you to make positive changes, build self-confidence, and face the future with a renewed sense of hope.
We offer private counselling for adults, children, and young people, providing a compassionate and personalised approach to life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, or other personal struggles, we create a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal at your own pace. Our experienced therapists work closely with you to ensure you receive the care that best meets your needs and goals.
Our private counselling service is available to children and young people (aged 6+) living across the Yorkshire and Humber region.
The most appropriate form of therapy is determined by the needs of the young person. This could include:
Drawing and Talking Therapy
This is available for children and young people aged 6 years and over. This style of therapy is particularly suitable for young people who do not have the words to express themselves or are unsure of what they are struggling with. The therapy is carried out over 12 sessions, typically lasting 30 minutes.
One to one counselling
This is available for young people aged 10 years and over who can verbalise their thoughts and feelings. The counsellor works using techniques to suit the needs of the young person.
If you’re unsure which type of therapy is right for you, don’t worry – during your initial referral, we’ll guide you through the options and help you find the right therapist.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our counsellors are caring and compassionate and will see you for a series of appointments, which can be weekly or fortnightly to suit your needs. You will be offered a range of sessions to improve your sense of wellbeing.
All our counsellors are experienced, qualified, registered members/accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Profession.
Member organisations *
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
