Student Counselling in York

​​​​​​

​**Booking now for January & February 2026 start**

 

If you are looking for private therapy while you are studying at

the University of York, York St John university or another

UK university, you are in the right place. 

​

I am an experienced university counsellor and have worked in

higher education for 12 years. I know how exciting university life

can be but also how challenging. Having someone who you can

talk with, who is interested and supportive, but does not have an

agenda or expectations, can be invaluable at this point in life. 

 

I can offer: ​

​

• A quick start. I know how important it can be to talk to someone sooner rather than later. 

• Face to face, Zoom or phone counselling. You can mix and match these to suit your needs. 

• Vacation breaks and flexibility from week to week if your study or employment timetable changes.

• A comfortable counselling room away from university but within a 30-40 minute walking distance. 

• Free car parking just outside and secure bicycle space. ​​

​​​​

​I have an excellent understanding of a range of student specific concerns including:​​

​

• Academic stress, pressures and expectations.

• Transition to and from university life; managing university life.

• Managing relationships with family, friends, partners, course peers and housemates.

• Perfectionism, procrastination and imposter syndrome.

• First job, first partner and first time living away from home. 

• Coming out as LGBTQ+ at university.

• University life as an autistic student. 

​

I have experience working with all of the following students: 

​

• College students aged 18+, university applicants, offer holders and students on a year out 

• Undergraduates and foundation year students 

• Postgraduate Masters and PhD students 

• International and visiting students 

• Mature students 

• Students on placement and year in industry 

• Students on leave of absence, who are deferring, withdrawing or have withdrawn from university 

• Recent graduates 

 

 As well as working with issues that may affect you as a student, I can also support you with longer standing concerns that may affect you while at university including anxiety, depression, loneliness and low self esteem.
