Ilkley Psychotherapy

Ilkley Psychotherapy Counselling and psychotherapy. A space to talk, to be heard, to be understood. I am an experienced coach and therapist. I look forward to hearing from you.

I offer both long and short term therapy, depending on your needs and interests. I am passionate about helping people grow and connect with themselves, and I know from my own experience of psychotherapy that this is both a wonderful and difficult journey. I have helped people work through issues such as

Anxiety and depression
Loneliness and relationship issues
Loss and bereavement
Feeling stuck in old patterns and seeking the confidence to change
Sexuality and identity
Life purpose and direction
Low self esteem and self confidence
My practice is in Ilkley, very close to rail links to Leeds and Bradford. As I am establishing my practice I am offering a special rate of £29 per session for anyone starting therapy before January 31st 2016. If you would like to have a chat to explore if working with me might can be helpful to you, please call or text me on 07866 323291 or email me at Kate@helpfultherapy.co.uk. I am a trainee member of SCPTI and of UKCP, am bound by their code of ethics, and hold professional insurance.
