What types of counselling do you offer in Harrogate?

We offer many different individual therapies to meet your personal needs. We’ll help you choose the one that will be most helpful in resolving your particular issues. We started in Harrogate over 20 years ago and now have over 30 practitioners working here.

Some of the main types of therapy are:

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy – is a talking therapy where you are encouraged to say whatever is going through your mind. It makes you aware of your thought processes and unhelpful patterns. It is proved to improve mental health by bringing our unconscious thoughts, into consciousness.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – is about identifying any current problems and how they affect your overall life and wellbeing. These may stem from earlier life and relationships. With CBT you can also look at how your negative patterns may be holding you back and explore new ways of coping, feeling and thinking in order to lead a healthier and more positive life.

Humanistic therapies – this is a type of talk therapy. It is holistic, and looks at the positive actions you can take to make your present life better rather than placing blame. It’s a good approach for anyone wanting a less structured, collaborative therapy route.The aim is to help you think about yourself more positively and improve your self-awareness.

Family and couple therapy – is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on reducing conflict and communication difficulties within a relationship. The therapist encourages discussions or exercises that involve everyone, and promotes a healthy unit as a way of improving mental health.

How do I know if I need counselling?

There are a number of signs that can suggest you need counselling. For instance, are your worries or concerns regularly getting in the way of everyday life? Are you using unhelpful coping mechanisms, or have you tried a number of approaches that don’t seem to work? Perhaps your friends and family say they are worried about you too. All these suggest our Harrogate based counselling services would help you.
