ÌÇÐĹÙÍø

Hello, I’m Yvonne, an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering individual counselling for young people and adults, in person in Keighley, West Yorkshire, or on-line.

Life is tough – and can sometimes feel impossible. I can offer you space and time to talk and be listened to, supportively and without judgement.

At the heart of my practice is a person-centred approach, using empathy, honesty and understanding, but I integrate a variety of therapeutic styles to suit you. There is no one size fits all – you and your circumstances are unique.

If you feel ready to explore what has led to your difficulties, then I am ready to help you understand them and together we can work towards positive change.

I have more than twenty-five years’ experience of working with young people in secondary and further education in various roles, most recently as a Counsellor. I understand first-hand the pressures that this presents both for young people and the adults supporting them.

I have a particular and personal interest in neurodiversity and the associated challenges that face this marginalised group. My experience is much more widespread however, and I have supported young people and adults through a variety of challenges, such as the impact of trauma, anxiety, self-harm and loss.

I have a PG Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy with distinction and, as a registered member of the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø, I follow their ethical guidelines.
