Madeleine Bentley Counselling, Heworth, York
Counselling in York for Young Adults and Students
Support with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationship issues and life transitions.
A warm welcome. I am an experienced counsellor offering private counselling in York and online across the UK. I work with young adults, university students, autistic adults and LGBTQ+ clients, with particular experience supporting anxiety, low mood and life transitions.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a university counsellor, supporting young adults through the pressures, uncertainty and changes that can come with early adulthood.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Perhaps you are overthinking everything, finding relationships difficult, feeling less confident in yourself or dealing with a situation that is hard to manage on your own.
It can be difficult to talk about these things with family and friends. You may worry about being a burden or fear being judged. Counselling offers a confidential space where you can talk openly about what is concerning you, at your own pace.
Anxiety and other difficulties
Anxiety is one of the main difficulties I support people with. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, constantly on edge or unable to switch off. You might be overthinking conversations and decisions, experiencing panic, struggling to relax or finding everyday life harder to manage.
Through counselling, we can explore what is behind these patterns and what may be keeping them going.
We can then look at ways of managing anxiety that feel realistic and useful for you.
I also support clients with low mood and depression, low self-esteem and confidence, relationship difficulties, bereavement and difficult life transitions.
How counselling can help
Counselling gives you time and space to understand your experiences, recognise your needs and think about what you want to change. It can help you make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings, feel more confident in yourself and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
My approach is calm, supportive and collaborative. We can work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
