Services
Adult Counselling
Our adult counselling service offers a safe, confidential space to explore emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Qualified counsellors use evidence-based approaches like CBT and person-centred therapy to help clients develop coping strategies and self-awareness. Sessions are available face-to-face, online, or via telephone, ensuring accessibility for all.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy addresses trauma and PTSD by processing distressing memories through guided eye movements. Recommended by NICE, it reduces symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance. Sessions last 6090 minutes, combining bilateral stimulation with therapeutic dialogue to reframe traumatic experiences and promote emotional healing.
Victim Counselling
Victim counselling supports adults and children affected by serious crimes, including domestic abuse and sexual violence. Delivered in partnership with Supporting Victims, sessions address trauma through play, creative therapies, and talk-based interventions. No prior crime reporting is required, ensuring accessible support for survivors.
Brief Counselling
Brief counselling provides focused support for mild to moderate mental health issues like stress and bereavement. Trainee counsellors deliver up to eight sessions, combining structured goal-setting with empathetic listening. Available in Ryedale and Scarborough, this free service prioritises accessibility through face-to-face and remote options.
Children's Counselling
Children's counselling uses play and creative therapies to address emotional difficulties in young people. Tailored sessions help children process trauma, anxiety, or family changes through age-appropriate techniques. Parents receive guidance on supporting their child's mental health, with referrals accepted from agencies or self-referrals.
