Welcome to James York Counselling & Wellbeing. 

Having found my website, perhaps at a challenging time for you, I would like to support you to make the changes you hope for. 

I am a qualified counsellor who offers an integrative approach to my way of working.  I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).

Many of us seek access to counselling in order to help us overcome a specific issue we feel we are experiencing.

At times, my experience is that people often feel their own issues are too small to access help and support; nothing is ever too small if you feel it is impacting upon you.

Perhaps you feel lonely, have experience of a loss or bereavement. You may feel low in mood or depressed. Many of us experience anxiety or panic in certain situations, or when thinking about our past or the future. Perhaps you experience fears or trauma, low self-esteem or low self-confidence. You may be struggling with work, or struggling to be more assertive with those around you. You may find yourself replaying awkward or difficult moments over and over in your mind, impacting on your sleep, or wishing things were different for you.

As human beings, we have an innate need to connect with others, and if this is missing for us, we may struggle with our psychological and emotional wellbeing.

As a counsellor, by working together and getting to understand what you are currently feeling and experiencing, I will walk your path with you, offering a different insight and perspective.  I will offer a non-judgmental, open and honest therapeutic relationship.  Our work together isn't about me 'fixing you' or giving you advice, but about offering a space to explore what is going on, allowing you to develop skills and strategies to support yourself, and to plan for your future in a positive manner.
