Some of you may remember I was due to move away from Ripon. However, I am delighted to tell you, we decided to stay.
The prospect of moving away from Ripon was full of conflicting emotions and thoughts. Were we doing the right thing? Would we come to regret our decision to leave?
A break-down in our housing chain however gave us a 24-hour opportunity to think very carefully about what we wanted to do. I love Yorkshire and all that it brings, friendly people, amazing community spirit and beautiful countryside. This led us to decide Ripon is absolutely where we want to be.
What does that mean for me, I hear you say!
If you are an adult living in Ripon, you are very welcome to see me for counselling. I have created a space in my house which is comfortable and private for us to work together.
Alternatively, you can work with me online. In this post COVID world, many of us are far more comfortable using online platforms. This means location no longer limits my work. If I seem like the right kind of counsellor for you, then we can see each other regardless of where you live. I already provide counselling to people living in different parts of the UK.
People come to see me for many, many different reasons. But they all come because they need the space and opportunity to explore what feels difficult without judgement or fear of burdening that other person. They want to be heard, understood, and validated. I am the biggest champion for the people I see; I am genuinely on their side and want them to feel better.
