Space to pause, reflect, and move towards contentment

Life can feel overwhelming. You may not have words for it yet, just a sense that something is wrong.

Coping with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, or painful experiences that you’re struggling to make sense of, may mean lying awake at night replaying conversations, putting on a brave face at work, or feeling like you ‘should’ be coping better.

Perhaps you are a professional or senior leader who feels an increasing weight of responsibility or someone navigating a change in life. Whatever brings you here, you deserve a calm, supportive and confidential space where you can be heard without judgement.

I’m Grace, a York-based qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor offering face‑to‑face and online counselling for adults across the UK, together with walking therapy for those who enjoy movement and nature. Often supporting people who feel they must, ‘hold everything together’, I help them slow down, reflect and make sense of what’s happening, in order to move towards greater resilience, enjoyment and contentment in their lives. Together, we create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, develop insight, and decide for yourself what changes – if any – you wish to make.
