Maria Harrop

I specialise in treating anxiety, stress, panic, trauma and depression. My experience includes treating self harm, eating disorders, OCD and addictions. I help adults, teens and children using Person Centred Therapy, CBT or both integrated together. 

I am a qualified Counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Private counselling is advantageous as an appointment could be arranged within a week. Troubles affecting how you sleep, eat or function should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid exhaustion, irrational thoughts and an inability to communicate problems. Issues may have arisen due to changes in your life such as loss, relationship breakdown, work issues or changes with your health or self image.

My aim is to listen and guide you through your difficult time. You will feel heard, supported and understood. Together we will deal with the root of whats causing your concern and then carve out a therapeutic journey. We will review any changes required around negative thoughts and behaviour's. You may have fears about the future or feel sad about the past. Counselling gives you time and space to adapt to the here and now and to work through your problems so that you can regain balance or develop a new perspective. I have tried to offer services that are fresh, modern and varied to meet individuals preferences and needs.

Services that I offer include the following; 

• Talking Therapy using a person centred approach or CBT over the phone, online or in person. CBT may be incorported as an intergrated approach. Face to face sessions are offered in a relaxed, private and confidential setting in High Leven in Yarm . £50 for 1 hour.
